To celebrate Canada's 150th birthday, ParticipACTION is creating the ParticipACTION 150 Play List - the ultimate list of all the physical activities that make us Canadian.
Throughout 2017, every Canadian, in all communities, schools and workplaces from coast to coast to coast, will be challenged to complete as many physical activities on the list as possible, track their efforts online and earn rewards along the way.
Last week, Delta MP and Minister of Sport and Persons with Disabilities Carla Qualtrough was part of the nation-wide launch of the program.
"Did you know that 2017 marks the 150th anniversary of Canada's Confederation? Our friends at ParticipACTION have come up with the150 Play List as a way to help us all celebrate," said Qualtrough. "The Play List is 150 activities that really define us as Canadians. Between October and December 2016, we're going to ask Canadians to help us choose what those 150 activities are; they might be a favourite sport or a stroll in the woods with your dog.
"In January we will launch Canadian's favourite ways of keeping active.
Throughout 2017 we're going to ask Canadians to do as many of these activities as they possibly can. I am going to try to do all 150 and invite all Canadians to join me."
