By Rosalind Russell – PARTICIPaction Community Challenge is building across the country including the North Shore Corridor.
The ParticipACTION Community Challenge is a national physical activity and sport initiative that encourages everyone in Canada to get active in search of Canada’s Most Active community, with a prize of $10,000 to go towards local sports initiatives.
Espanola, Blind River, Elliot Lake and Greater Sudbury are all in the top 20 in the Ontario numbers, although they all have work to do to break into the top 20 across Canada.
Individuals and groups can register, and any physical activity posted from something as simple as one person registering their daily walk to a bike relay covering kilometres of open road to a swimmer doing laps.
At this point, there are 43,000 participants being tracked nationally.
The initiative runs until the end of June.
