ParticipACTION Community Challenge

The ParticipACTION app can be downloaded on the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. There is a video walk-through of downloading the app and registering for an account on the Town’s Facebook Page.

Once you download the app, select “Register” and select the method you would like to use to create your account (with an email or with an Apple, Google, or Facebook account). You will receive an email to confirm your account if you choose to register via email.

• Once you create your account, you will put information into the app (name, goal for weekly activity, birthday, etc.). Make sure that the postal code you entered is your Salisbury postal code. If you are unsure, you can use Town Hall’s postal code: E4J 3E3.
• You will then also have the option of connecting a fitness tracker (Apple Watch, Fitbit, etc.) if you have one, which will automatically track your minutes.
• Make sure you select “Yes, I am in” to allow notifications to give you updates throughout the month of June from ParticipACTION.
• Once you arrive on the homescreen, you will see an option promoting the Community Challenge. Make sure you select “Join”, and you will then be tracking towards Salisbury’s goal.

No, you don’t. But the more people who track their minutes on their own, the better it shows ParticipACTION how many people are participating in the challenge. If you are not able or comfortable tracking minutes on the app, here are two options:

• Keep track of all of your minutes and physical activity. Phone the Town Office at 506-372-3230 or email them to info@salisburynb.ca and we will enter them on your behalf!
• Enter your minutes on the website without needing to download the app (note: this option is not available until June): https://www.participaction.com/programs/community-challenge/ 

For more information on the challenge, or to register for any activities, please email the Town’s Recreation & Wellness Department at: recreation@salisburynb.ca.
