ParticipACTION Community Challenge 2026

Let's Become Canada's Most Active Community!

This June, Morinville is taking on the ParticipACTION Community Challenge, and we’re aiming to be named Canada’s Most Active Community.

From June 1–30, every walk, stretch, sport practice, school recess, and workplace movement session counts toward our community’s total. The more organizations, programs, and participants we register and track, the stronger our score.

This is our moment to show Canada and Alberta what Morinville is made of.

 

Building on Our Momentum — 2026

Morinville doesn’t just participate, we compete.

In 2024, our community earned national recognition as a Top 50 finalist, placing 3rd in Alberta. That achievement reflected what we already knew: when Morinville commits to something, we show up.

In 2025, we pushed even further, earning a place among the Top 40 communities in Canada and proving that our momentum wasn’t a one-time effort — it was the start of something bigger.

Every recess tracked.
Every practice logged.
Every walk around the lake.
Every workplace stretch break.

It all added up.

Now in 2026, we are setting our sights higher.

We are rallying our schools, businesses, sport groups, families, seniors, and community partners to move together — with one goal in mind:

Let’s make Morinville the Most Active Community in Canada and Alberta.

This isn’t just about rankings. It’s about community pride. It’s about showing our kids what leadership looks like. It’s about creating healthy habits that last long after June ends.

We’ve built the foundation.
Now it’s time to rise.

Morinville — let’s move

How It Works

The ParticipACTION Community Challenge is a national initiative that encourages communities across Canada to get active throughout June.

Communities are evaluated based on:

  • Number of registered organizations

  • Number of programs, initiatives, and events registered

  • Number of participants tracked

  • Population-adjusted scoring

That means every organization and every participant matters.

There are no restrictions on intensity or length.
From school recess to a 10-minute workplace stretch break — it all counts.

Register as a Community Group

Everyone Belongs. Every Move Counts.

The ParticipACTION Community Challenge is for everyone in Morinville. When we move together, every activity — big or small — helps strengthen our community and bring us closer to becoming Canada's and  Alberta’s Most Active Community.

Anyone who lives, works, learns, or gathers in Morinville can participate.

Residents of all ages and abilities.
Schools and classrooms.
Businesses and workplaces.
Sport organizations and community groups.

From a neighbourhood walk to a school recess or a team practice — it all counts.

Participation matters because every registered organization, program, and participant strengthens Morinville’s overall score. More importantly, it builds healthy habits, encourages connection, and reinforces our shared commitment to being an active, engaged community.

The Challenge is intentionally inclusive. There are no minimum time requirements or fitness standards — movement can be adapted for all ages, abilities, and comfort levels.

By encouraging free and accessible activities in schools, parks, workplaces, and community spaces, the Challenge helps reduce barriers and expand participation opportunities. It brings together diverse groups across Morinville — youth, seniors, families, newcomers, Indigenous partners, and local organizations — under one shared goal.

We compete as one community.

Striving to become Canada's and Alberta’s Most Active Community isn’t just about rankings — it’s about belonging, pride, and showing that Morinville moves forward together.
