The City of Morden is participating in ParticipACTION’s Community Better Challenge. This is an annual event that aims to get neighbourhoods across the country moving together and increasing physical activity minutes. (Not from Morden? You can participate and give your community the change to win!)
The challenge runs between May 31st and June 16th and gives Morden (and any Canadian community) the chance to win $150,000 to go toward physical activity improvements if it’s crowned as Canada’s Most Active Community! In addition to the national winner, there will also be finalists recognized from all regions of Canada who will be awarded $20,000. Individuals are also entered to win gift card prizes for Amazon, Sports Stores, etc.
