With the ParticipACTION app no longer available as of September 2023, participants will track their steps within the Optimity app. Here are some reasons why we chose to partner with Optimity:

• The Optimity app’s structure and challenges format are similar to the ParticipACTION app’s, making it easier for former ParticipACTION app users to get used to.
• Like ParticipACTION, Optimity was founded in Canada, with a large and well-established Canadian userbase.
• Physical activity is one of the Optimity app’s pillars.
• Optimity provides a strong support system for its app users.
