PARTICIPACTION IS HAPPENING FOR THE MONTH OF JUNE

The ParticipACTION Community Challenge is a national physical activity initiative that encourages Canadians to get active and compete to become Canada's Most Active Community throughout June. For Barrhead, this is an opportunity to unite as a community and showcase our active lifestyle. Every Move Minute tracked through the ParticipACTION app or website counts towards our total score.

Our goal is to win the top prize of $100,000, which will be used to support local physical activity initiatives and further enhance our community's wellness. Whether participating in partnered local sports, or enjoying a fitness class, every minute you track helps Barrhead climb the leaderboard. Let's come together, get moving, and make Barrhead Canada's Most Active Community!

HOW CAN YOU GET INVOLVED?

This challenge is for the entirety of the Barrhead Community! The Town of Barrhead is registered as an organization, and we encourage everyone to participate - Town and County!

The more community members who sign up and participate, the higher our chances of winning funds that will benefit local physical activity initiatives and further enhance our community's wellness.

You can participate by registering or "pledging" for the Challenge on the ParticipACTION website for FREE. By signing up and providing your postal code, your participation will count towards your assigned community’s score. The more individuals that sign-up within a community, the greater the community’s score.

For more details on how to participate and track your Move Minutes, visit the ParticipACTION Community Challenge webpage.

HOW DO I TRACK MY ACTIVITY?

This year, we do all the tracking! Join one of our partner groups (i.e., Volksport, Pickleball, etc.) or one of our planned classes listed in the section below and we'll track your participation. It's easy! Basically show up, get active, and we'll do the rest.

WHY DO THIS?

We aim to highlight the benefits of community, movement, wellness, and fitness. Plus, by participating, we stand a chance to win funds that will benefit you, our community!
