Join the ParticipACTION Community Challenge

The ParticipACTION Community Challenge helps everyone enjoy the many physical and mental benefits of getting active together!

This national initiative encourages everyone in Canada to get active throughout June, ultimately recognizing Canada’s Most Active Community and awarding it with $100,000 to support local physical activity and sport initiatives.

Anyone can participate in the ParticipACTION Community Challenge by downloading and tracking their movement in the free ParticipACTION app from June 1 to 30, or by joining local activities like our own – take a walk in one of our many parks or trails or go for a swim at our indoor pools. Register for one of our programs like kayaking, family geocaching or outdoor cooking for youth.

Join the City of St. John’s in the movement to build stronger, healthier and more active communities across Canada.
