ParticipACTION’s Community Challenge: Sutton is back!
The Town of Sutton is proud to announce that it will once again take part in June in ParticipACTION’s Community Challenge: a month during which Canadians are invited to get physically active and record their physical activity minutes on the ParticipACTION application. From June 1st to 30th, we count on you to get moving in Sutton!
Our 2023 Challenge: Win the title of the most active community in Canada!
Last year, the wonderful mobilization of citizens and organizations earned Sutton the title of most active community in Quebec. The Town was awarded a $15,000 prize to be invested in a project that encourages physical activity. This grant will partially fund the construction of a new basketball court planned for 2023 at Goyette-Hill Park!
This year, we are aiming even higher: the grand prize of Community Challenge will award $100,000 to the community that gathers the greatest number of participants and accumulates the greatest number of active minutes across Canada.
People of Sutton… are you ready to join the challenge? We can do it!
Make it count!
Any activity that gets you moving applies to the Community Challenge: taking a walk, gardening, shopping, vacuuming, walking the dog, running, dancing, swimming… it all counts!
After each activity, you simply log your minutes in the app or on the website and you’re done!
Contagious enthusiasm
A committee with contagious enthusiasm was formed in the spring to make Sutton’s participation in the Community Challenge a concerted effort with the objective of finishing 1st in Canada, nothing less!
The Sutton Recreation, Community Life and Culture Department, the Coop Gym Santé Sutton, the Parc d’environnement naturel de Sutton, the Sutton School, the Corporation de développement économique de Sutton, the Sutton Curling Club and Plein air Sutton have all combined their ideas to propose projects that will accumulate precious minutes of physical activity in June.
Any other organization in Sutton is invited to join the initiative. We will publish information and photos of your events! Contact us at [email protected].
Program to come
The activities planned in June as part of the Community Challenge will be communicated to you very soon. We will have several stimulating activities to offer you during the month of June to get moving together: stay tuned!
