Wawa residents are being challenged to join in Participaction's "Community Better Challenge" this month.
Noting Wawa came in fourth in Ontario and 24th in Canada in last year's challenge, Municipal Recreation Coordinator Stacey White explains it's meant to encourage fitness and physical activity, starting today and running all month.
White notes that includes a Family Color Run along the waterfront from 10 am to noon Saturday, put on by the Superior Children's Centre and EarlyON Centre - coinciding with the Youth Makers Market at the Goose Nests on Saturday - with a calendar of the challenge-related events heading to residents' mailboxes, though more information will be available on the Wawa Recreation Facebook and Instagram pages.
To participate in the challenge, sign up and track physical activity with the Participaction app or website - for help, simply contact the Michipicoten Memorial Community Centre.
