Wawa in Ontario Top 5 as Participaction Community Better Challenge Nears End

Wawa residents are being challenged to get active over the next few days, as Participaction's annual "Community Better Challenge" nears an end.

Municipal Recreation Coordinator Stacey White explains the initiative - which has been running all month - is meant to encourage physical activity.

White notes Wawa came in fourth in Ontario and 24th in Canada last year - as of Sunday, Wawa was fifth for Ontario - behind North Grenville, Toronto, Sarnia, and Ottawa - though that puts it below Canada's top 20.

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.

More information about Challenge-related activities is available on the Wawa Recreation Facebook and Instagram pages.
