Congratulations Elbow, winner of the Community Pledge Challenge! Elbow will put the $10,000 prize toward safe and modern playground equipment in their local park.

Thanks to all Saskatchewan in motion Community Pledge Challenge participants! 23 communities registered and more than 3200 individuals and families made online pledges to take action and increase the physical activity of children and youth.

The challenge is over, but we hope you'll still pledge to do just 1 thing to make physical activity the easy choice for the kids in your life.
