20% Challenge

The 20% Challenge encourages British Columbians to increase their physical activity by 20% by 2010.

In 2004, the Canadian Medical Association challenged Canadian provinces to increase physical activity by 10%. The Province of BC took up this challenge and doubled the target to increase physical activity in BC by 20% by 2010.

Communities can adopt a motion resolving to meet the 20% Challenge. Download the motion in PDF. If your community has adopted the motion, please let us know! Send an email to 20percentChallenge(at)2010LegaciesNow.com.

To find resources on encouraging more physical activity in your community, please visit ActNow BC and Active Communities.

Take up the 20% Challenge today and help make British Columbia the healthiest region in Canada and the healthiest jurisdiction to ever host an Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games!
