What is the Community Challenge?

The ParticipACTION Community Challenge presented by Novo Nordisk is a national physical activity and sport initiative that encourages everyone in Canada to get active throughout June in search of Canada’s Most Active Community, which will receive the grand prize of $100,000 to support local physical activity and sport initiatives.

Who can participate?

The Community Challenge is open to everyone! As such, Champlain Township will be leading the initiative by registering all our community programs and events taking place in our facilities between June 1 and 30, 2025 on the Community Challenge web portal. These will count towards Champlain Township's total score. At the end of June, 40 finalists will have the opportunity to share why they deserve to be named Canada’s Most Active Community through a finalist submission. Finalists are determined through a scoring formula based on the number of organizations and individuals participating as well as organizational tracking. The population of the community is factored into the overall score, so communities of all sizes have a fair chance of winning. 

How can I help our community win?

  1. Pledge to get active throughout June during the Challenge. Your commitment will count towards our community’s final score; however, you’re not required to track your physical activity throughout June. After you pledge to get active, you’ll receive a welcome email with tips on how to get moving this June. You can also find other ideas by scrolling down to the program resources section of the ParticipACTION Get Active webpage. ALL ACTIVITY COUNTS! Whether you're walking your dog or doing a yoga class, each step can bring our community closer to being more fit and to winning the title of Canada's Most Active community!
  2. Download the free Optimity app, ParticipACTION’s digital app partner, to get a personalized step goal, participate in regular physical activity challenges and earn rewards for healthy actions!

How can my organization help our community win?

  1. Register your organization on the Community Challenge web portal from now until June 30.
  2. Add your organization’s June physical activity and sport program(s), initiative(s) and/or event(s) now until June 30. 
  3. From June 1st to 30th, track the number(s) of people who participate in your program(s), initiative(s) and/or event(s). The more participants you track under your organization, the greater the Township of Champlain's odds of being named Canada’s Most Active Community and winning funds to support local sport and physical activity initiatives! Let's work together to achieve this goal!
