March 1 to March 10, Wilkie In Motion, with Saskatchewan in Motion, launched their very own Go Out and Play Challenge. There were nine days to log in minutes of physical activity throughout the competition. There are 30 registered communities throughout Saskatchewan that are participating in the challenge.
Wilkie In Motion team leader Helen Urlacher, along with her committee and Wilkie rec director Stephen Lutsch have all teamed up to try and win $10,000 for community projects around Wilkie.
This money would benefit the Town of Wilkie in many different ways, whether it be safe walking/biking routes in and around Wilkie or to even build a skateboard park or water park. Creating outdoor spaces with the green spaces Wilkie has to offer would indeed be an asset to the community!
The community of Wilkie has a lot of support from the surrounding area and towns. There is no doubt that Wilkie will be a strong competitor in this challenge.
To enter the challenge one must go to www.challenge.saskatchewaninmotion.ca and register and make a profile, or and a family profile. You can log up to 120 minutes a day per person. You do not have to be a resident of Saskatchewan to participate in this competition.
Saturday, March 10, Wilkie In Motion will be holding Capture the Flag out at the Regional Park, starting at 11a.m. There will be hot dogs and hot chocolate available and at 1p.m. there will be a town-wide snowball fight. All participants are asked to have a Go Out and Play Challenge Profile to log their minutes of this event as it is the last day of the challenge.
Come out and play from wherever you are! Come help us try and win $10,000 for Wilkie.
