PARTICIPACTION!
Miltonvale Park is participating in the ParticipACTION Community Challenge this June. We are providing lots of free or low-cost activities to get people active -and hope to win the $15,000 prize if we are named PEI’s most active community… and we need your help! We are currently leading for PEI… so please help us stay on top!!
Pledge to be more active this June at https://www.participaction.
You can sign up as an individual (please use a Miltonvale Park Postal Code – such as C1E 0S7, if you don’t live where – or get your mail at the post office in Winsloe -as that postal code will put you on Charlottetown’s team!). You don’t have to do any reporting as an individual to ParticipACTION – just pledge to be more active (you can still report to us for the virtual walk, if you would like – link below) and/OR you can sign up as an organization – such as a workplace, church, or group. You then have to register your events –so if the “Loyalist Road Ladies”, for example, walk daily – they could count towards the active organizations – which helps us score points!
Teams are assigned by postal code – so if you would like to be counted for Miltonvale Park. please use a postal code from here – such as C1E 0S7
Register with Zach at miltonvalepark.staff@gmail.com or 902-368-3090, for ParticipaCTION events.
