This June, the City of Welland is lacing up for the ParticipACTION Community Better Challenge—a coast-to-coast celebration of movement, connection, and community spirit. From June 1 to 30, every minute of activity you track brings us one step closer to being named Canada’s Most Active Community—and yes, there’s a $100,000 prize on the line to support local recreation.
Whether you’re walking the dog, biking the canal trail, dancing in your kitchen, or stretching between meetings—it all counts.
So rally the family, grab your friends, and let’s put Welland on the map.
