Last year, residents ran, leaped, splashed, cycled, golfed, and hiked their way to a win. Timmins currently holds the crown for Ontario’s Most Active Community. Can we do it again?
The City of Timmins has signed up for the sixth edition of the ParticipACTION Community Challenge presented by Novo Nordisk, a national initiative that encourages everyone in Canada to get active throughout the month of June. Canada’s Most Active Community will be awarded with $100,000 to support local physical activity and sports initiatives.
To help rally for Timmins and win the grand prize this year, we need everyone to participate!
• Local businesses and organizations: Register today on the ParticipACTION website. Throughout June, track the number of people getting active and the instances of physical activity to help our community compete for the title.
• Individuals: Sign up on the ParticipACTION website. Then, commit to getting active throughout June and browse different opportunities to help you move more where you live, learn and/or work!
The Community Challenge is open to everyone! All community events registered on the challenge webpage from June 1 – 30 will count toward a community’s total score. Individuals can also sign up and get moving in support of their community’s total by getting active in June.
To help get started, our Community Safety and Well-being Team has put together a full calendar of free activities. Featured walks with Mayor Michelle Boileau, City staff, Timmins Police Service, and the Timmins Fire Department. Free yoga. Free Zumba. Free swims. Dive in and download the calendar today.
Join the City of Timmins in the movement to build a stronger, healthier and more active Timmins! Help us become Canada’s Most Active Community!
