City of Courtenay hopes to be crowned as Canada’s Most Active Community by winning a challenge.
The city is taking part in the ParticipACTION Community Challenge, a nation-wide initiative where communities get physically active for all of June, with one community to be crowned as Canada’s Most Active Community after the challenge ends.
The winning community gets $100,000 to support local sports and physical activity initiatives. Last year’s challenge saw Hay River, Northwest Territories as the winner.
The city says Courtenay Recreation will be offering several activities for you take part in for this challenge, including free fitness classes, archery, family gymnastics, and pickleball lessons.
“Organizations can register their activities, programs and events on the ParticipACTION website and track their progress,” said the city.
“Individuals can also join by pledging to be active throughout the month, helping boost Courtenay’s overall score.”
The challenge runs from June 1 to June 30. To register, click here.
