The Honourable Steve Crocker, Minister of Tourism, Culture, Arts and Recreation, congratulates the Town of Carbonear for being named Newfoundland and Labrador’s Most Active Community through the ParticipACTION Community Better Challenge.
The town will receive a prize of $15,000 to put toward local physical activity initiatives. The award, supported in part by the Provincial Government, is part of the ParticipACTION Community Better Challenge, a national physical activity initiative that encouraged Canadians to get active throughout the month of June in search of Canada’s Most Active Community.
Over 15,000 residents in Newfoundland and Labrador participated in the 2024 challenge. Throughout 87 different communities, 22 million move minutes were tracked.

“Congratulations to the Town of Carbonear on being named Newfoundland and Labrador’s most active community! The ParticipACTION Community Better Challenge is an exciting initiative which motivates and encourages residents of all ages in Newfoundland and Labrador to be active throughout the month of June. The challenge reinforced the positive impact that physical activity can have in building active, healthy individuals and communities. This win is also exciting on a personal note as I am the proud MHA for the beautiful district of Carbonear-Trinity-Bay de Verde. Kudos to residents throughout the province who participated in this initiative and supported improving their own health by being active and engaged members of their communities.”
