COVID-19 Response

Covid-19 has had a significant impact on mobility. The Commuter Challenge centers on getting active and experimenting with new modes of sustainable transportation. With the simple joys of walking and cycling being discovered or rediscovered by many, we hope you will continue to explore the ways to safely get around and build healthy habits long-term. Health authorities advise that people stay active and get fresh-air for their mental and physical health; this week-long challenge will help emphasize the importance of that. 

We are working on a hybrid model of in-person activities, shared experiences, and online resources for participants to utilize and have the options to enjoy the Commuter Challenge to their own personal levels of comfort.

See transportation advice from the Province of Manitoba here. Please keep up to date with local and provincial wide restrictions surrounding covid-19, ensure you are following all current public health regulations and adapt your activities accordingly. More information on current restrictions are available here.

How Teams Work for 2022

Teams do not necessarily mean that you do the activities and kilometres together, but that you work together for a collective goal of making a positive impact to the environment. Take part in how you feel comfortable while following any current health restrictions and advisories.

Teams can be your household bubble where you do activities together. Friends and family can make it a friendly competition between each other to beat team members distances, colleagues can reconnect in a fun way while each tries a new activity and compares experiences, and workplaces can show their initiative to get their employees moving to contribute as a whole, these are all new, fun and different ways people can (re)connect through shared experiences and collective goals. Each individual participant’s km’s can be logged into their total team (or workplace) count, for better chances to reach the goal and win prizes.
