Saskatchewan residents rappel down Regina office building for charity
Dozens of Saskatchewan residents rappelled down one of Regina’s tallest buildings on Saturday in support of Canadians living with disabilities.
“It enables Saskabilities and Easter Seals Saskatchewan to continue to offer great programs in support for people who experience disabilities in the community, so it’s a really easy cause for people to get behind and the atmosphere is electric and it’s a fun day to come down, test yourself and experience rappelling yourself,” MacPherson said.
Anseth, a three-time participant in the Drop Zone, was the first participant of the day and says it was just as fun as the first time. Anseth says she takes part in fundraising for Easter Seals because she used to be a teaching assistant with special needs and alternative education children aged up to 22.The excitement for the day resonated with many other participants, including a few first-timers.Rhonda Harrison says she’s been wanting to take part in the drop for years and finally got the chance to this year.
