ParticipACTION Community Challenge

The City of St. John's invites residents to join the ParticipACTION Community Challenge and get active!

The ParticipACTION Community Challenge presented by Novo Nordisk is a national physical activity and sport initiative that encourages everyone in Canada to get active. During the month of June communities throughout the country will get moving and track their progress, in hopes of becoming Canada’s Most Active Community, winning $100,000 to support local sport and physical activity initiatives. 

To help rally the City of St. John’s and win the grand prize this year, we need everyone to participate!

  • Local governments and organizations: Register your June physical activity programs, events and/or initiatives on the ParticipACTION website and throughout June, track the number of people participating in them to help our community compete for the title of Canada’s Most Active Community.
  • Individuals: Sign up on the ParticipACTION website and pledge to get active throughout June where you live, learn and/or work!
