About
ParticipACTION
Encouraging people living in Canada to get healthy by getting active since 1971.
An active life is a better life
ParticipACTION is a national non-profit organization that inspires and supports people living in Canada to make physical activity a vital part of their everyday life. As Canada’s premier physical activity brand, ParticipACTION works with its partners, which include organizations in the sport, physical activity and recreation sectors, alongside government and corporate sponsors, to help people living in Canada reduce sedentary time and move more through innovative engagement initiatives and thought leadership.
We are an enduring part of Canada’s physical activity history, working for over 50 years to position physical activity as a necessity of life and one of the most important things you can do for your overall health and well-being.

Territorial Acknowledgement
ParticipACTION’s head office sits on the traditional lands and waterways of the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat Peoples. This land is covered by the Dish With One Spoon Wampum Covenant and Treaty 13. It is also home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples from across Turtle Island.
Reconciliation Action Statement
ParticipACTION acknowledges that colonialism has harmed Indigenous communities across Canada and that our industry has had adverse impacts on Indigenous health through banning traditional forms of physical activity and using physical activity as an assimilation tool.
ParticipACTION commits to supporting Indigenous communities through measuring and reporting on Indigenous physical activity, supporting Indigenous-led organizations, and sharing Indigenous stories and imagery that honour First Nations, Métis and Inuit communities. We will work to advance the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action and continue being open to suggestions from and consultations with Indigenous Peoples on how we can build better relations and continue working towards reconciliation.
