UPDATE IN RESPONSE TO COVID-19

To our treasured Firefighter Stairclimb participants, volunteers, sponsors, and supporters.

Given the pressing need by all of us to take preventative actions in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are writing to advise that we are postponing the Firefighter Stairclimb Challenge.

As critical first-responders, volunteers and supporters, we know that you will understand our need to protect all of you and our community. Doing our best to prevent the spread of this disease is our best weapon to preserve the health of everyone in our community.

We have spoken to H & R Reit, the owner of the beautiful Bow Building, who have indicated that they would like to reschedule the event with us as the situation becomes more favourable. Please know that we will send additional direction to you as it becomes available.

Sincere thanks for your remarkable support, patience and understanding.
