Climb for a Cause: Join TIES Climb for New Beginnings

Climb for a Brighter Future for Newcomers

The Immigrant Education Society (TIES) is thrilled to invite Calgarians to participate in an inspiring team-building event that also supports our community—the TIES Climb for New Beginnings. Set against the iconic backdrop of the Calgary Tower, this event on October 5, promises not only a rewarding challenge but also an opportunity to make a meaningful impact in the lives of newcomers and Canadians in need.

Newcomers enrich our city with diverse skills and perspectives, but the transition to a new life in Canada can be overwhelming. By climbing the Calgary Tower's 802 steps, you'll raise funds for vital programs that help newcomers with the skills and resources they need to thrive in Canada.

"I believe when newcomers thrive, our entire community benefits," says Sally Zhao, TIES President and CEO. "But I also recognize the significant challenges they face. From learning a new language and finding employment to navigating unfamiliar systems and cultural norms, the journey can be overwhelming. My campaign is built on the belief that with the right support, newcomers can overcome obstacles and achieve their full potential."

Why Participate?

• Foster Teamwork and Collaboration: Bond with your colleagues, building camaraderie as you tackle this unique challenge together.
• Connect with a Passionate Community: Join other local businesses and community members who share your values and commitment to social good.
• Make a Real Difference: Your participation will directly fund essential programs and services that empower newcomers to contribute to our community.
• Invigorating Workout: Challenge yourself physically and enjoy the satisfaction of a job well done.
• Breathtaking Views: Enjoy stunning views of Calgary from the observation deck.
