Join the Climb for Veterans Challenge to Support Veterans and First Responders living with PTSD.

Together we will take on the challenge of summiting Canada’s tallest peak in support of our military veterans and first responders.

We’re not actually asking you to climb Mount Logan. Instead, we’re using its impressive height of 5,959 meters above sea level as our target.

Your task is to cover the equivalent distance by counting your uphill and downhill travels along a 5.9 km route.

Every step you take helps provide vital aid to those who have dedicated themselves to serving others.

Here’s how it works:

Route Cover: a 5.9 km path, tallying your uphill and downhill strides.

Purpose: Each step symbolizes support for those who have served us.

Spectators are encouraged to join in the spirit of support.

Canine companions are welcome to accompany participants on the hike, though they must remain outside the chalet.

Your contributions and support plays a vital role in supplying key resources and training, guaranteeing that these transformative service dogs continue to be accessible to Canadian Veterans and First Responders living with PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder).

Together we are empowering individuals to lead more independent and fulfilling lives.

Where?
Chicopee Tube Park, 1600 River Road, Kitchener. The zip-lines will be open, weather dependant. Loads of fun! Please preregister with Chicopee Tube Park if you would like to ride the zip-lines.
