Get Our Community Moving Challenge

Starting this week people across Saskatchewan will get active and log physical activity minutes for a chance to win $10,000 toward a community project designed to get kids moving more. It’s all part of the Get Our Community Moving Challenge powered by Saskatchewan Blue Cross.

Less than 15 per cent of Saskatchewan kids get the daily physical activity they need for health benefits. The challenge gets communities working together to create opportunities to make sure the kids they care about get the more than 60 minutes of daily physical activity they need each day.

Twenty Saskatchewan communities have accepted the challenge and identified projects to get more kids, more active, more often. Over the next two weeks, these communities will rally support for their projects by encouraging families, friends, colleagues, and local leaders to get moving. The community that logs the most minutes of physical activity by midnight March 16 will win a $10,000 grand prize toward the completion of its project.

Saskatchewan Blue Cross and Saskatchewan in motion are honoured to work with communities across the province to encourage physical activity for healthy, happy kids. “The challenge creates a buzz in these communities. This excitement not only inspires a lot of action, it fosters community spirit and pride!” says Cathie Kryzanowski, General Manager of Saskatchewan in motion.

“The health of our kids is both our greatest resource and our greatest challenge,” says Arnie Arnott, President and CEO at Saskatchewan Blue Cross. “So we’re delighted to partner with Saskatchewan in motion in building happy, healthy communities in our province.”

Saskatchewan Blue Cross and Saskatchewan in motion challenge all Saskatchewan residents to get moving. Tracking is easily done online; even those lucky snowbirds can enter minutes to help their hometowns win!
