21 | The IFP -H alton H ills | T hursday,June 6,2019 theifp.ca Halton Hills residents have a good excuse to get active: The Community Better Challenge. Between May 25 and June 16, residents are en- couraged to participate by simply being more active. The most active com- munity during that period will receive $150,000 for physical activity initia- tives. The Challenge rallies communities from coast to coast to sit less and move more. According to Statis- tics Canada, only 18 per cent of Canadian adults get the recommended amount of physical activi- ty. "Wouldn't it be great for Canada's most patriotic town to also become Cana- da's most active communi- ty?" Mayor Rick Bonnette said in a prepared release. "Our community embrac- es the health benefits and fun that go along with physical activities and are already champions." The town will host 16 free activities over the two-week challenge peri- od, including swims, skates, yoga, and tai chi in the park. Participants log their activity times at com- munity.participaction- .com or on the ParticipAC- TION app available on the Apple App Store and Goo- gle Play.
