To mark Canada's 150th birthday in 2017, the Toronto-based non-profit group 'ParticipACTION' is launching a challenge called the '150 Play List.' The project is designed to celebrate uniquely Canadian activities, while also encouraging people to be more active in their daily life.
The 150 Play List is a project that involves asking Canadians to come up with a list of "150 unique physical activities that define us as Canadian." Starting in October, the organization will begin accepting votes for these activities from Canadians across the country. The final list will then be released in January of 2017 and people from coast-to-coast will be challenged to complete as many of the activities as possible. Participants will be able to track their efforts online and even earn rewards for different activities.
