ParticipACTION names North Grenville as the most active community in Canada

If you live in North Grenville, you put more time into staying active than anyone else in the country.

ParticipACTION has announced that with 9.9 million minutes of activity logged on their app, North Grenville topped all other participating municipalities across Canada in their 2021 Community Better Together Challenge. Over 2000 residents took part in the contest, including daycares, fitness studios, Seniors’ Community Services, Community Living North Grenville, and all elementary schools in the municipality.

Mayor Nancy Peckford praised the work of the North Grenville’s Health, Wellness and Fitness Committee, and their work towards a common goal. Deputy Mayor Jim McManaman says despite the pandemic, the challenge was an opportunity to bring people together, try new activities, and encourage socially distanced fun.

The win means North Grenville has earned a top prize of $100,000. Mayor Peckford says they look forward to getting input on how to best invest the prize money.
