ParticipACTION Community Challenge

Month of June

Help us become Canada's Most Active Community

and win the $100,000 Grand Prize!

Be sure to check-in daily!

Ways YOU can Participate:

Groups and organizations can sign in and register activities, sports, practices and events in the month of June. You only need to input the number of participants at each activity. It's fast and easy to do! 

Individuals, groups and organizations are all grouped by postal code. All registered activities in Mississippi Mills go toward our goal!

We will update this page with information about activities being planned for the month of June. If you, or your group or organization, want to plan an activity, email events@mississippimills.ca and we will add it to the list and promote it on our social media pages. 

It takes a community working together to win the GRAND PRIZE so get out, participate in an activity, play a sport, get walking and more! The award will go toward recreational programming in our community.
