Active Commute Challenge (ACC) is a community initiative taking place June 1–30! It’s a great way to stay active, reduce your environmental impact, and have some fun.
A few quick things to know:
In today’s world, long hours of sitting have become the norm—but your commute is one of the easiest places to reintroduce activity. Whether you walk, bike, roll, jog, carpool, or combine transit with short walks, replacing car trips with active options can have a meaningful impact on your health, energy, and the environment.
With nearly half of rush-hour trips under 5 km in Thunder Bay, many of us have simple opportunities to swap short drives for active travel. Even one active commute a week can help reduce sedentary time, boost focus, and support both physical and mental well-being.
By joining the challenge this June, you’ll be part of a workplace team competing with others across your community—tracking your trips, following your team’s progress, and climbing the leaderboard for a chance to win prizes. Build healthier habits, support a more sustainable environment, and be part of a growing movement toward active living, all while staying motivated and making every commute count.
The Lakehead Town + Gown brings Orillia faculty together with members of the surrounding community. Meetings occur monthly to discuss topics of broad interest—such as AI, education, loneliness, and citizenship—and have easy but engaged conversation.
This month's topic is "Hospitals as Anchor Institutions."
What's a fireside chat?
It's an opportunity any students, staff or faculty to connect with the Orillia International staff to share your input, reflections, and ask questions about programming that the Orillia International office offers. Join us on Zoom!
