Terrace Rotary members Brian Downey, Art Erasmus and Lyle Harvey were on hand to help cut the ribbon at Caledonia Senior Secondary School's new rock climbing wall last Friday, November 23. Terrace Rotary donated monies toward the wall along with the Terrace Skeena Rotary Club, McElhanney, the City of Terrace, and Rona to name a few.
Sponsors are being thanked with a "Sponsor Climbing Day:"
Thank you for being involved in the project here at Caledonia. Each donation was an important part in moving forward. What started out as a five sheet of plywood bouldering wall ended up as a full climbing wall with lead climbing potential. The total cost has well surpassed $30k.
We would like to thank our community sponsors by providing an allotted time for you to bring family down to try the wall. Please adhere to the time and allow time to fill out waiver forms as well as get suited up in a harness and shoes. Children need to bring a clean pair of runners to use on the wall. Climbing times may be limited to one climb per person until everyone in your group has climbed and you are within your time allotment.
The date for this event is Saturday, December 1 from 10am to noon.
