June is ParticipACTION Month in Miltonvale Park where we try (again!) to win the Community Challenge in PEI. The municipality will be organizing a number of events and activities to get people to be active.  There will be an email from summer students Hazel and Natalie early next week with more details to let folks know how to get involved, and share their activity on social media (which does help us in the contest, as this year ParticipACTION is tracking social media). I think the top provincial prize is $15,000! Please start being active now, and tracking your steps as we will be again hosting the Walk More than the Mayor Contest and the Virtual Walk to Milton. This year we are aiming to virtually walk to Milton, Massachusetts. If you would like to be involved – please send an email to miltonvalepark.staff@gmail.com to register for these virtual events!
