Petro-Canada Para-Equipment Fund
| Innovative Fitness invites recreational facilities across BC to participate in an exciting initiative starting March 12, 2012 in all communities of British Columbia. The Healthy Communities Challenge is a 90 day physical reinvention contest featuring the cities of Surrey, Coquitlam, Abbotsford & Langley and extending to all cities in British Columbia. Mayors of the four featured cities will be chronicled weekly in provincial media at the same time as free programs, guidance and expertise will be provided to all participants through an online tracking platform. The goal of the Healthy Community Challenge is to provide the tools, expertise and motivation for all BC residents to achieve their fitness goals. There is NO COST to join and there are many great resources to take advantage of. Running simultaneously with the provincial media contest, participants from across BC can qualify to win random prizes simply by registering on line in their communities. We have received interest from many of the rec facilities outside of the featured communities to be involved in/leverage the media & collateral to help promote/piggyback many of their own initiatives under the larger scale spotlight and welcome the opportunity to speak to someone about introducing the HCC to the membership. For more information on the Healthy Community Challenge, please contact them at info@healthycommunitychallenge.com. |
