June – ParticipACTION Community Challenge continues until June 30. Miltonvale Park is currently 1st place in PEI ($15,000 prize!!) and we would love to win this year! Follow along on the leaderboard! https://www.participaction.com/programs/community-challenge/#leaderboards

If you haven’t already - please sign up to be more active this June.

https://www.participaction.com/individual-pledge/ They ask your first name, email address, and postal code. Please use a postal code from Miltonvale Park - such as C1E 0S7.  Winsloe (Charlottetown!) and Hampshire PO boxes and postal codes would put you on another team -not ours!! (There is no further tracking or reporting required from ParticipACTION). You do have to agree to receive their emails, but can unsubscribe later if you do not find them valuable.

Organization can also register their events -so the municipality track the numbers attending events, and other groups can also report on events (e.g. The Milton Hall Line Dancers, the North Milton WI beach walks, Miltonvale Park Pickleball) - reporting is really easy- so if you have an active group/business -it is not too late to sign up here and report 

Miltonvale Park is hosting two virtual events that require reporting to us if you would like to take part - a virtual walk to Mount Milton in BC, and a Walk More than the Mayor contest… You can report your steps or activity when it suits you - on this form.https://forms.gle/rQLfevkzQC5cqLVG7 

We need to report in by June 30 - so please report by June 29 and estimate your steps for the 30, if possible.  The last I heard we were in Quebec, but if folks can check their pedometers/smart phones and send in steps, or you can also report activities - eg June 1-20 - 8 hours gardening, 4 hours push mower, 5 hours exercise classes. that might help us get to BC! Reach out to Zach at miltonvalepark.staff@gmail.com. if you have any questions or problems reporting.
