Meadow Lake firefighters climb stairs to conquer cancer
A group of Meadow Lake firefighters climbed up one of Western Canada’s tallest buildings this weekend to support the fight against cancer.
Every spring, firefighters from all over Canada and the world meet in Calgary to take part in the Firefighter Stair-Climb Challenge.
Macylin Relitz, Andrew Clements, Joe Hallahan, Chris Gill and Keenan Gill of the Meadow Lake Fire Department climbed 55 flights of stairs in the BOW Building on May 5. Relitz and her four colleagues suited up in full gear and air tanks, which adds an extra weight of 40 to 50 pounds, for the climb.
