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!
