The ParticipACTION Community Challenge is a national initiative that encourages communities across Canada to get active throughout the month of June. Each year, the City of Yellowknife supports this challenge by promoting movement, wellness, and connection for residents and visitors of all ages and abilities.
In past years, Yellowknifers have taken part in a variety of fun and accessible activities, including:
-
Walking and hiking challenges
-
Outdoor and land-based recreation
-
Social movement opportunities like group walks and lunchtime activities
-
School-based and youth-focused physical activity initiatives
Participants are encouraged to track and submit their activity minutes, helping showcase Yellowknife as an active community while supporting recreation and wellness initiatives.
More details to come, including 2026 challenge activities and how to participate, stay tuned and get moving!
