Get Active This June for Recreation and Parks Month!

June is Recreation and Parks Month, and The Town of Essex is once again recognizing the value and benefits of quality recreation and parks within the community.

ParticipACTION Community Better Challenge

This year, the Town of Essex is pleased to join the ParticipACTION Community Better Challenge, a national physical activity initiative that encourages Canadians to get active in search of Canada’s Most Active Community. The program is open to everyone, and all minutes tracked on the app and website from June 1 – 30 will count toward the community’s total score. To participate, download the ParticipACTION app from the App Store or Google Play and start tracking your physical activity today!

Activity Contest

In addition, the Town will be hosting a number of free “Try-It” sessions, providing residents the opportunity to explore many activities including Spin H20, Adult Lengths, Pickleball, Aquafit, Drum Fit, Rec/Leisure Swims, Dance Fusion and a Community Bike Ride. Use the provided QR Code to complete the online form and track any activities you participate in from the ‘June is Recreation and Parks Month’ calendar for a chance to WIN!
