After almost half a million votes and submissions from Canadians, the ParticipACTION 150 Play List has been revealed, in celebration of Canada’s 150th birthday.
The ParticipACTION 150 Play List is the ultimate list of 150 physical activities that define Canadians. One hundred events will take place across Canada in 2017 to encourage Canadians to try out as many activities on the list as possible.

ParticipACTION’s goal is to get Canadians to sit less and move more. But they’ve also sweetened the deal for participants: Canadians can sign up and track their activity for the chance to win prizes. Trips to the 2017 Grey Cup and the Manulife LPGA Classic, activity trackers and Tim Hortons gift cards, and the grand prize of a new vehicle are all up for grabs.
The ParticipACTION website has full details to sign up and get involved.
