20% Challenge
A healthy living challenge for BC residents
From 2004 to 2009, the 20% Challenge encouraged British Columbians to increase their physical activity by 20% by 2010.
Province sets target for activity level
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. Through programs such as the 20% Challenge, the Province supported communities that encouraged greater physical activity among their residents.

British Columbia can be the healthiest region in Canada and the healthiest jurisdiction to ever host an Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games!
The 20% Challenge that ran from 2004 to 2009 was supported by the Province of BC.
2010 Legacies Now thanks the Province of BC and numerous other
partners, sponsors and organizations for their invaluable support.
