Thanks to all who take part with their own incentives during June! In the 132 ha (326 acre) Richard St. Barbe Baker Afforestation Area (RSBBAA) and the 60 ha (148 acre) George Genereux Urban Regional Park (GGURP), everyone is truly welcome. Come to Nature, Come to Life! The ParticipACTION Community Challenge presented by Novo Nordisk is back, and it's a chance for all of us to come together, get active, and win fantastic prizes! This national initiative encourages Canadians to prioritize physical activity throughout the month of June, with the ultimate goal of recognizing Canada’s Most Active Community and awarding it with $100,000 to support local physical activity and sport initiatives. Here's how your organization and members can get involved: 1. Register Your Organization: Visit the ParticipACTION website to register your organization for the challenge. Throughout June, track the number of people getting active and the instances of physical activity to help our community compete for the title. Plus, by registering before the end of May, you'll be eligible for Early Bird Prizes! 2. Engage Your Members: Encourage your members to sign up as individuals on the ParticipACTION website and check out the free offerings. By committing to getting active throughout June, they'll not only improve their health and well-being but also contribute to our community's chances of winning. 3. Win Amazing Weekly Prizes: There are various prizes up for grabs, including Spirit Prizes, Inclusion Prizes, Capacity-Building Prizes, and Participation Prizes. These prizes can support a wide range of initiatives within your organization, from funding equipment for sports teams to organizing community events. Imagine the positive impact winning the grand prize could have on our community - the City of Saskatoon! With $100,000 in funding, we could support local physical activity and sport initiatives, creating more opportunities for everyone to lead active and healthy lives. But to make this dream a reality, we need everyone's support. That's why we're reaching out to you today. Together, we can rally our community, get active, and work towards becoming Canada’s Most Active Community! Share, network and spread the word!
