Wonderful week to participate in the Jack Frost Challenge.
I entered my results daily – is there anything else I need to do? I don’t use social media to share my experiences.
When will people be notified about the participation prizes?
Hi Cindy
We are hoping to have results out by the end of the week, although it may end up being early next week. As long as you entered your kilometers you’ve been automatically entered to win. We will publish the prizes winners in a blog on our website.
What great prizes! Thank you for including those outside of the Perimeter.
Hi, I registered this morning. Where do I find the bingo card to log the various activities? Also, the goManitobaapp link doesn’t work. What does that app do?
Hi there!
Your confirmation email should have a two links, one for the Manitoba card and one for the Winnipeg card. If they are not there, shoot me an email at challenge@greenactioncentre.ca. As for the GoManitoba link, you can simply google it and it will bring you to the same place. It is a rideshare app that focuses on carpooling but you can log kilometres for activities such as walking and biking. It does require a sign up.
