Kalistra Roopchan lives in Oshawa and has been a long-time fan of wildlife and WWF. This year, she decided to challenge herself by climbing the 1,776 stairs of the CN Tower and fundraising $1,000 to support WWF’s conservation work. She is already more than three-quarters of the way to her goal and because of her early fundraising skills, she qualified for and won WWF’s CN Tower Climb Early Bird Prize – a trip for two to Churchill, Manitoba to see polar bears in the wild.

“This is my first year climbing and I decided to do it to challenge myself and support WWF at the same time,” she said. “When I found out that I had won the trip to Churchill, I was shocked. I never actually thought that I would win, and I’m so excited for the entire experience.”

This year, WWF’s CN Tower Climb for Nature is offering you the chance to cross multiple items off your bucket list. Participants will get a unique perspective from Canada’s iconic tower, and for every $500 they raise, they receive a chance to win the trip of a lifetime to Haida Gwaii on B.C.’s north coast.
Since the CN Tower Climb for WWF began in 1991, more than 103,000 people have taken the 1,776 stairs to raise millions for WWF’s conservation work. It’s not too late to register and fundraise and qualify for some amazing prizes.
