Each member of the Council has chosen a community exercise activity to promote, to encourage City employees, their families, and all Portlanders to participate in at least one Wellness activity. City employees participate on their own time, except for City Council members for whom there is no such thing as our "own time." Anyone who participates in all five events will be recognized by Council in the fall.
Here is the list of events chosen by Council members:
