In motion challenges the community to be physically active when traveling to their daily destinations. We want everyone to get “in motion” May 30-June 5 by taking the Commuter Challenge. Participants will be able to walk, bike or roll their way to great in motion prizes!
Information on the campaign and active transportation as well as a link to the Commuter Challenge will appear on the website – www.in-motion.ca.

Commuter Challenge occurred during Canadian Environmental Week from May 30 to June 5, and finally the results are in!  Saskatoon placed 5th in the population category of 100,000 to 249,000 after Kelowna, Regina, Guelph, and Thunder Bay.

In motion would like to stay safe while being physically active outdoors this summer. In motion and the Canadian Cancer Society would like to remind you that while outdoor activities are part of a healthy physically active lifestyle, there is a danger you can’t see – ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Natural sunlight is important to good health, but too much exposure to UV rays increases the risk of sunburns, skin cancer and cataracts.

Screening is an important way to prevent and detect colorectal cancer because:
• Colorectal cancer usually develops over a long time without causing any signs or symptoms.
• When symptoms do start they are often vague and easily mistaken for more common illnesses.
• Regular physical activity and eating a healthy diet that includes plenty of vegetables and fruit may help reduce your risk of colorectal cancer.
