The Vulcan County Health and Wellness Foundation’s County Wide “Wellness Challenge” this spring; it will run for the whole month of June. We begin this year on May 29^th and end on June 30^th; all points must be registered by July 1, 2023.

The event’s goal is to promote a healthy lifestyle by promoting regular physical activity, mental and emotional health, good nutrition, proper sleep, and secure social support networks and targeting the seven dimensions of wellness, emotional, environmental, intellectual, occupational, physical, social, spiritual, and overall wellness. 

The plan again is to have T-Shirts for each registered team member and individual. This allows participants to be easily recognizable and be “caught in motion” when addressing their physical health. Our watchdogs will assign bonus points to those “caught” physically active while wearing their T-shirts. 

Our committee is happy to partner again with the Town of Vulcan Recreation Department to support many of their programs. And collectively, we will also be participating in the ParticipACTION Community Better Challenge. The Community Better Challenge provides the opportunity to win the top prize of $100,000 and earn the title of Canada’s most active community. In 2021 we won the title of Alberta’s Most Active Community. In 2023 our eyes are on the National Title of Canada’s Most Active Community.

Participants pay a registration fee of $20.00. The back of the shirt is dedicated to identifying the Registration Sponsors of this event. We are incredibly grateful to this event’s Sponsors and many Participants of all ages.

Sponsorship Opportunities

Gold Sponsors $501 and up

We have very ambitious goals for this event to find enough Sponsorship to cover our seniors’ registration costs. This would apply to any senior wishing to participate while living in long-term care or assisted living facilities in our community. We are very fortunate this year to have our youngest-at-heart senior looking forward to this event, registering at the beautiful age of 102. She is also our second centenarian at 100 years young.  From young to the very young at heart, this Wellness Challenge has something for all ages.

We additionally seek Sponsorship to assist children attending school in the County of Vulcan.

Even though this registration fee is on the low end of the scale, it can still be a barrier for some residents in our community, given the current financial climate and high cost of living. And we, as a committee, are hoping this barrier can be removed.

There are approximately one hundred senior residents and there are 722 students. We anticipate only some to register, but we would like to see as many as possible. We believe that removing the financial barrier will help.

We seek Sponsors to support specific events, such as the “Dark to Light” walk organized by the Vulcan Mental Wellness Support Community and Vulcan Regional Victims Service. Donation of monies to help with the purchase of wind-resistant candles. Sponsorship would also help purchase glow sticks for participants in the “Moonlight Glow Walk.”

This year the committee is adding so much more to the events schedule. Participants can look forward to day cycle trips, day kayaking outings, noon-hour fitness programs, disc golf nights, Kinsmen Games Park team challenges, and morning tai chi.
