We all know Cochranites are physically active.

Now we have a chance to be named Canada's Most Active Community and win $100,000 for our community.

Sport4Life Cochrane has announced Cochrane will be participating in the ParticipACTION Community Better Challenge from June 1 to 30.

Helping to strengthen communities through physical activity and sport, the Community Better Challenge is awarding $100,000 to the municipality that rallies the most participants, community organizations, and accumulates the most active minutes during the challenge.

In addition to the national winner, there will also be prizes for the most active community in each province and territory.

It comes at a time when the COVID-19 pandemic has brought many challenges, and many of us have had to adjust by cancelling activities or launching virtual programs.

Now more than ever, it’s important to find ways to connect with our friends, family, and community. Sport4Life believes the Community Better Challenge can help us do so safely!

Sport4Life is encouraging all residents to support the challenge by uploading and tracking their active minutes in June on the PartipACTION app. They're inviting all community organizations hosting virtual or in-person physical activity events to sign-up online and track the number of active minutes.
