A win for wildlife at the BC Place Climb for Nature

The 2025 WWF Climb for Nature continued at BC Place on May 10 with families, nature-lovers and athletes climbing around 3,000 steps up, down and all around the stadium’s lower stands.

Climbers in Vancouver also raised an incredible $93,000. Together with thousands who conquered the WWF CN Tower Climb for Nature last month — and hundreds more who are climbing across the country as part of the WWF Anywhere Climb for Nature — we’ve raised a record $1.7 million (and counting) for conservation efforts this year.

“We’re so proud that so many people would step up like that, literally, for nature and wildlife,” Megan Leslie, WWF-Canada president and CEO, said.

“From freshwater to saltwater to forests, we’ve got all the bases covered in B.C. and we’re really proud of the work.”

The money raised will go to supporting wildlife all across Canada, including our work in B.C. to recover southern resident killer whales, regenerate forests after wildfire, and restore salmon habitat in Katzie First Nation territory.

“Living on the west coast, we’re seeing a lot more natural disasters — whether it’s flooding like in Chilliwack or wildfires. Even if it’s not in our town, it’s directly affecting us with the smoke,” added Shaun Stephens-Whale, a professional tower runner and ninja gym owner from Squamish who boasted the B.C, climb’s fastest time at 10 minutes and 45 seconds.

“Being better stewards of the environment, more sustainable, and protecting more land, goes a long way to making sure that those impacts we feel at home are lessened in the future.”

Thank you to every climber, donor, sponsor and volunteer who helped make this our biggest Climb for Nature yet! You can find more photos from the BC Place climb here.
