Mazda & ParticipACTION CX-50 Minute Challenge

 Mazda Canada and ParticipACTION are challenging Canadians to spend more time in nature

TORONTO, ON – August 2, 2022 – The benefits of time spent in nature are well documented and can be achieved with a minimum amount of time: It just takes 50 minutes, three times per week. During the month of August Mazda and ParticipACTION are teaming up to give Canadians an exciting way to achieve this.

 

To celebrate the launch of Mazda’s first-ever CX-50, Mazda Canada and ParticipACTION are introducing the CX-50 Minute Challenge, which encourages Canadians to spend active time in nature to enhance their wellbeing. From August 1-31, every 50 active minutes tracked in the ParticipACTION app will give Canadians a chance to win. There are more than $30,000 in prizes available, with weekly draws and a grand prize at the end of August.

 “As a Japanese company, the well-being that nature brings has a long history. Shinrin-yoku, or Forest Bathing, is based on ancient Shinto and Buddhist practices with a belief that immersion in nature is not only good for our souls, but good for our bodies. At Mazda, we couldn’t agree more,” said David Klan, President and CEO, Mazda Canada Inc. “Our new purpose-built, adventure-seeking CX-50 is a vehicle designed to create harmony with nature, not to conquer it. It belongs in nature, and the CX-50 Minute Challenge reminds us that we belong in nature too.”

 “We know that time spent in nature can make us healthier. Our heart rate goes down, our mind becomes clearer and calmer, and physical tension decreases,” said Dr. Leigh Vanderloo, Scientific Director at ParticipACTION. “Adults are encouraged to get 150 minutes of physical activity per week, with added health benefits if we can take this activity outdoors. This is why we’re thrilled to partner with Mazda Canada to encourage everyone living in Canada to get more out of the natural world around them in such a fun way.”

Canadians’ views on nature

 To find out more about Canadians’ views on nature, Mazda Canada commissioned a survey and found that more than 80 per cent of Canadians agree spending time in nature is good for their mental and physical health. The survey also found Canadians tend to overestimate the amount of time needed outside to reap the benefits of nature, and only 19% are aware of any research on the benefits that nature has to offer.

The first-ever Mazda CX-50

Mazda has recently introduced the first-ever CX-50, a purpose-built vehicle designed to drive beyond paved roads to support the active and outdoor lifestyles of customers in North America. The CX-50 maintains key attributes expected of all Mazda vehicles, including superior driving dynamics and beautiful design. The sleek, long silhouette and wide stance help give the vehicle dynamic proportions that balance design elements that are geared toward outdoor ruggedness.
