The Step Challenge invites anyone who lives or works in Niagara-on-the-Lake to register as an individual or team of four. The challenge is hosted through the MoveSpring App, where participants can track their steps, share stories, recommend walking paths, and connect with fellow community members. Weekly prizes will be awarded to both individuals and teams.
Over the years, the Step Challenge has received hundreds of participants! Staff are excited to have Lord Mayor Zalepa join and engage with residents as he walks his way through each Niagara-on-the-Lake village.
