How would you spend $100,000 to support physical activity and sport initiatives in Thorold?
The could be the $100,000 question facing our community if we get active and meet the challenge in June. The Thorold Community Activities Group (TCAG) is calling on all Thorold residents to get active in June by joining the ParticipACTION Community Challenge. Their goal is to motivate members of our community to enjoy the many physical and mental benefits of getting active together!
As a national initiative, the challenge encourages everyone in Canada to get active throughout June. The winner of Canada’s Most Active Community award will receive $100,000 to support local physical activity and sport initiatives.
Thorold is competing against other communities in Canada to win the title of “Canada’s Most Active Community” – we’re hoping to get everyone involved!
