Tahsis Rock Climbing Wall
Donation protected
The purpose of this fundraiser is to collect funds to pay for an inspection of the Tahsis Recreation Center's rock climbing wall. This would be the next step towards the re-opening of the wall, which has not been utilized for over a decade.
The vision is to offer, assuming that legal and insurance requirements are met, people of all ages access to the climbing wall and to have a certified instructor supervise and teach them how to belay and climb safely. This would significantly support the physical & mental well-being of the residents and guests of Tahsis and would allow the community to better utilize the recreation resources that are available.
Council approved an inspection of the rock climbing wall at the March 20th council meeting. This was with the condition that the required funds are donated and not obtained through tax payers dollars. This is due to the fact that there is a possibility that the inspection would fail and the tax-payer dollars would have no positive impact on the community (aka. a higher-risk and large expense). This GoFundMe page has been created as a method to collect donations, which will go directly towards paying for the inspection by Andrew Higginson of High Performance Walls Inc.
The local Director of Recreation is supportive of the project and is willing to help work towards its success.
