David Miller makes the CN Tower Climb his New Year’s resolution WWF December 19, 2016 Share: Share This Page: Share with Facebook Share via Twitter Share via Linkedin Share in email TORONTO, Dec. 16, 2016 – David Miller, former Toronto mayor and current president and CEO of WWF-Canada, has one New Year’s resolution for 2017: Get into shape before tackling Toronto’s tallest challenge as part of WWF-Canada’s Climb for Nature. “I’ve congratulated thousands of WWF climbers as they reached the top, and in 2017 I will climb with them for the first time,” said Miller, a lifelong rugby player, who is recovering from surgery for a knee injury. “I’ve started training to get fit so I can climb the CN Tower – all 1,776 steps – for the first time. The climb, though, is more than a fitness challenge. It motivates people – young and old, fast and not-so-fast – to raise funds together to protect wildlife. It’s good for your health and the health of the planet.” Why WWF-Canada’s CN Tower Climb for Nature is a great New Year’s resolution: Bragging rights: Committing to do the WWF-Canada CN Tower Climb is powerful motivation to start a new workout routine. While it may seem like a lofty goal for non-athletes, people of all ages and abilities make it to the top. Don’t believe us? Read Julian Backhouse’s story. Ultimate bragging rights: Athletes, first responders and fitness enthusiasts looking for a more competitive experience can join WWF-Canada’s first-ever Elite Climb. Who will claim the title of First Up the Tower? The record time to beat is 7 minutes, 52 seconds. A family fitness goal: Every year, families train and climb together, with kids racing their parents up all 1,776 steps. A work affair: Past corporate teams can describe the excitement generated when co-workers come together for the environment. And when executives get involved, it takes it to the next level. Make a difference for wildlife: Last year, nearly 7,000 people registered for the CN Tower Climb for Nature, taking a combined 12,432,000 steps to raise more than $1.2 million for WWF-Canada’s conservation efforts. This support was vital to helping wild tiger populations rise for the first time in 2016 and advocating for the protection of caribou calving grounds in Canada’s Arctic.
