Let's Move Canada

Connected by Movement

Let's Move Canada is a National Movement

Let’s Move Canada brings together individuals, communities, and partners to create simple, accessible pathways for people to get active.

By connecting local opportunities with national momentum, the platform supports Canadians in building movement into their everyday lives in ways that are inclusive, flexible, and community-driven.

There are also new national partnerships with organizations such as Trans Canada Trail, Outward Bound Canada and Pedalheads.

This is a unique, holistic approach co-created with our Indigenous non-profit partner, the Indigenous Physical Activity and Cultural Circle, ensuring that Indigenous ways of knowing and being are at the centre of Let’s Move Canada. It is about the interconnectedness of individuals, family, community and nature. Co-creation and inclusion also extend to youth. It is their energy and enthusiasm that have resonated with youth across our country, helping them be their healthiest selves.

Our Challenge!

Be part of a movement! Move with Canadians from coast to coast to coast for 15 days and contribute to your personal goals and our collective goals! Connect with stories and places across Canada. Along the way, earn digital badges for a variety of fun achievements. All activities are welcome, from cycling and running to canoeing and yoga!

We have partnered with the Canadian fitness app and platform RunGo to track, motivate, inspire and connect us.

RunGo is a GPS-guided app that provides voice navigation for custom routes, making it ideal for exploring new areas safely and confidently. 

The Challenge will begin on National Health and Fitness Day (June 6, 2025) and end on National Indigenous Peoples Day (June 21, 2025).

National Health and Fitness Day

June 6th is National Health and Fitness Day!

We’re inviting all Canadians from coast to coast to get up, get out and get active to show your support on Saturday June 6th.

Take a friend for a stroll. Walk or bike in the park for a bit of fresh air. Take a break with your family to play outdoors. Share your activities with other Canadians using the hashtag #LetsMoveCanada. 

National Health and Fitness Day is a key moment within the Let’s Move Canada movement, bringing communities together across the country to celebrate and promote active living. It serves as a powerful catalyst for participation, helping Canadians take the first step toward more active, connected lifestyles.

Join in and you’ll be part of a massive movement around movement.
