There’s still time to get outside and join the Get Active in Temiskaming Summer Challenge, with Week 2 now underway in Haileybury and Cobalt.

Routes have been created in both communities, with Get Active signs hidden along the way. Choose a route, head out for a walk or run and keep your eyes open. When you find a sign, snap a selfie and share it with Get Active in Temiskaming to enter this week’s draw.

One participant will win a Get Active hoodie in the colour of their choice, and wearing Get Active gear in your photo earns a bonus entry.

The challenge runs August 25 to 31, with entries closing Monday at 8 p.m.

Those looking for ideas on organizations to nominate can browse the group's past nominees, or bring forward a local need the group hasn't heard about before.
