We will do our best to make prize adjustments for persons across the province. If something doesn’t work for a winner, we will simply find them something that does.

If you haven’t registered for this year’s Jack Frost Challenge, be sure to sign up – registration is open now!
Hello , I want you edit the number of the participants in our team ( now we will be 5 instead of 3) , but I can’t see how to do it . Hopefully someone can help me :). Super excited to participate
Hi, I just signed up but it said I used the wrong password when I tried to log in Km. walked. Is this because it doesnt start till the 13th? Or is there a problem with my registration. I don’t want to imput my info again if not necessary. Thanks for your reply. Brenda
Hello Brenda,
You can edit your activities with your login if you accidentally logged incorrect kilometres.
Please email kris@greenactioncentre.ca to sort out any technology issues you are having and we will sort it out accordingly.
