Welcome to PLAY in Bruce Grey

Thank you for your interest to participate in the second annual “Longest Day of PLAY” in Bruce Grey countywide challenge! All community members in Bruce and Grey are encouraged to be physically active on Thursday, June 21st, 2012 ~ the first day of summer and the longest day of the year!

Every community is invited to develop their own program for the day. Activity options can be offered including all community members (i.e. an evening PLAY in the park or municipalities challenging their neighbouring municipality!). Check out the Longest Day of PLAY section to review 2011 activities.

Participation is EASY! Either individually or as a group keep track of all PLAY hours through out the day and either enter the total number of hours on the PLAY website; e-mail or phone in the final number no later than noon on the 22nd. Results will be posted on the PLAY website by 5:00 p.m. on the 22nd. 

Community members will gain a greater appreciation of regular, daily activity for themselves; their families and their community! "Longest Day of PLAY" t-shirts (generously sponsored by Bruce Power) will be distributed to the first 100 participants in each municipality. The top three municipalities who log the most number of PLAY hours will win a sought after Longest Day of PLAY trophy!!
