City of Prince George hoping to earn Canada’s Most Active Community title

The City of Prince George is going after a new title: Canada’s Most Active Community.

Throughout June, the City is hoping to gain the title through the ParticipACTION Community Challenge, presented by Novo Nordisk.

The national physical activity and sport initiative encourages everyone in Canada to get active throughout the month, ultimately recognizing Canada’s Most Active Community and awarding it $100,000 to support local physical activity and sport initiatives.

Local organizations can register their June physical activity programs, events and/or initiatives on the ParticipACTION website.

These organizations can then track how many people participate.

Individuals can also sign up and pledge to get active however they choose.

To kick off the campaign, the City is partnering the the Prince George Family YMCA to offer a free participACTION open house on Saturday, June 7th from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm/

There will also be free workout classes including Muscle Fit at 9:00 am, Yoga Fit at 10:00 am, and Zumba at 11:00 am.
