It was created by Canadians for Canadians in order to celebrate both active living and Canadian heritage. The new Saskatchewan in motion website highlights all of the activities included in the Play List and how they can be accomplished in Saskatchewan. The website was developed in partnership with Saskatchewan Sport, the Ministry for Parks, Culture and Sport, the Saskatchewan Park and Recreation Association, and the Community Initiatives Fund.

Our goal is to increase opportunities for physical activity for children and youth in our province and playinsk.ca does just that. We challenge Saskatchewan communities, schools, workplaces, and families to show the rest of Canada that Saskatchewan is the most playful province," says Marnie Sinclair, manager of Saskatchewan in motion.

The website is to be used as a resource for people of Saskatchewan to visit and start crossing items off the list. 聽聽 Saskatchewan聽in motion has a goal for Saskatchewan residents to show their playfulness and collectively accomplish all of the 150 physical activities on the ParticipACTION 150 Play List by the end of 2017, and will be planning many more initiatives this year to get people active.
Saskatchewan in motion is a province-wide movement of decision makers, influencers, leaders, educators, organizations and families working together toward a common goal: to get more kids, more active, more often. It provides positive solutions and simple tools to inspire communities, schools, and families to get kids moving.
