The City of Kamloops is excited to announce the annual ParticipACTION Community Challenge from June 1 to 30, 2025. This national initiative encourages Canadians to get active and build stronger, healthier communities. Kamloops is gearing up to compete for the $100,000 grand prize to support local physical activity and sport initiatives.

The ParticipACTION Community Challenge is not just about physical activity. It’s about coming together to experience the physical, social, and mental benefits of being active. Join us in making Kamloops the most active community in Canada. The community can participate in several ways:

• Register Online:
   
  • Individuals: Sign up on the ParticipACTION website to commit to getting active throughout June and browse different opportunities to help you move more where you live, learn, and work.
     
  • Organizations and Associations: Register on the ParticipACTION website and track the number of people getting active through your programs throughout June to help our community compete for the title. Full details are on the ParticipACTION website.
     
• Try It! Events: Residents of all ages are invited to attend free, inclusive, low-barrier Try It! events offered by various organizations in the community. The goal is to encourage individuals to try a new activity, discover what could be a new passion, and make new friends.

Individuals do not need to track physical activity. By registering, you are committing to being active in your community. Every move counts—from walking the dog to gardening to playing with the kids. The more people who register, the greater the chance we have to win.

Residents of all ages and abilities are encouraged to come together and make a mark in the 2025 ParticipACTION Community Challenge. Together, we can build a stronger, healthier, and more active community.
