Description
_
Everything gets better when you get active. _


As Canada's premier physical activity brand, ParticipACTION helps Canadians be less sedentary and move more through innovative engagement initiatives and thought leadership.

Originally established in 1971, ParticipACTION was relaunched in 2007 to help address the inactivity crisis in Canada and now in its 51st year, we've rejuvenated the brand and sparked a national movement that rallies Canadians to make physical activity a vital part of everyday life in Canada.


As a national not-for-profit organization, ParticipACTION works with its partners, which include sport, physical activity, recreation organizations, government and corporate sponsors.

ParticipACTION engages Canadians through relevant and compelling initiatives that support and encourage them to be active, and as a thought leader, it is the informed opinion leader and the go-to source in the Canadian field of physical activity and sport participation.
