#ygkChallenge: Make the Most of Summer 2016

The #ygkchallenge is an ongoing series where we dare you to be different, resolve to be better, and or do something awesome in support of our beloved community. Each week, Kingstonist establishes a new, ambitious or quirky goal, encouraging you to step out of your comfort zone and do something great, and hopefully a little out of the ordinary. By taking part in this community-wide initiative, we hope to make Kingston (and the world) a slightly better place to live, work and play.

This week’s #ygkchallenge encourages you to:

Make the most of (what’s left of) summer 2016! What was on your bucket list this summer? Did you have big plans for a special road trip with friends and family? Or perhaps you envisioned an exciting staycation with trips to Kingston Pen and Fort Henry, taking in one of the city’s many festival and sitting down for a delicious meal on your favourite patio? Whatever happened to that novel, household renovation, or personal fitness goal you set out tackle? How much of what you hoped to accomplish this summer actually got done?

With some kids already back in the classroom and the remainder set to return next week, summer 2016 will soon be over. Although the long weekend is fast approaching, there’s still ample time to peek at that bucket list and knock off a few things. It’s time to take stock of what’s most important to us, be it excitement, rest and relaxation, completing an overdue project or spending time with the people who mean the most to us. Make your plan to make the most of these final days of summer. Tell us (with a comment below) what you’re aiming to cross off on your bucket list in the coming days.

Join us in completing this week’s #ygkchallenge by liking it on Facebook and/or re-Tweeting it on Twitter. By liking and sharing, you’re not only committing to doing something great, but you’re also helping us spread the word and hopefully encouraging others to participate.
