CANCELLED: The BIG HEART Challenge Activity Day!
Presented by
UPDATE
BIG HEART CHALLENGE ACTIVITY DAY HAS BEEN MOVED CANCELLED!
Hello Everyone!
After poor weather expected on February 25, we made a gamble to move the activity day to March 4 in hopes of better weather. Unfortunately, the risk did not turn out in our favour. Heavy snowfall is expected on Friday into Saturday. with anywhere from 15cm to 30cm expected, it would limit the ability for us to set up activities and people to move down the sidewalks to participate.
It saddens us to make the call, but we are keeping our chins up and looking forward into March. We are already reframing what the BIG HEART Challenge is going to look like. Activities will be extending into March. This means extending the deadline for the BIG HEART Challenge AND offering pop up challenges throughout the month.
Please keep an eye out for new updates on all our social media channels!
Sincerely,
BIA Team
