The City of Weyburn has accepted the “Go Out & Play Challenge” powered by Saskatchewan Blue Cross, and are requesting that all residents to help the city to win.
The City of Weyburn is counting on residents, friends, neighbours and family members to get moving to win this year’s challenge to be held on March 1-10.
Saskatchewan Blue Cross and Saskatchewan in motion have challenged communities across the province to go out and play for a chance to win $10,000.
The community with the most minutes of physical activity logged during the 10-day challenge will win the grand prize. The City of Weyburn plans to put the $10,000 prize to good use by constructing a new Spray Park that will be located at River Park.
Last year, the community of Norquay took the lead and won the Challenge by logging over 413,000 minutes of physical activity.
