Support healthier communities through the ParticipACTION Community Challenge
At Novo Nordisk, we believe building a healthier Canada starts with prevention. That’s why we are proud to be the presenting partner of the 2026 ParticipACTION Community Challenge — a national initiative that encourages people across Canada to get active throughout the month of June.
Regular physical activity plays an important role in overall health and can help reduce the risk of serious chronic diseases, including obesity and diabetes. Through the Community Challenge, organizations, schools, local governments/municipalities and community groups can help inspire more people to move and support healthier communities across the country.
Each year, communities compete for the title of Canada’s Most Active Community, with the winning community receiving $100,000 to support local sport and physical activity initiatives.
We encourage you to take part in this year’s Challenge and help make movement a bigger part of daily life in your community.

We hope you’ll join us in helping Canadians move more this June.
