Participate in the WeMüv™ Physical Activity Challenge and walk across Canada! Starting in April hundreds of elementary schools and students will be using their daily physical activity steps to walk across Canada! Join the fun, friendly competition and turn activity steps into rewards. Each month students, teams and schools will compete and have a chance to win great prizes. New to WeMuv - Schools can now use their physical activity steps to fundraise for their school or cause. Fundraising with WeMuv is easy and healthy plus schools keep 100% of the pledge dollars!
