You can make a difference in much-needed conservation efforts that benefit wildlife and fight climate change by registering to climb the 1,776 Steps of the CN Tower.
WWF’s CN Tower Climb for Nature opens the iconic tower’s 144-floor stairwell to the public.
The CN Tower climb will take place on May 2 and 3.
To participate, you will need to register with a fee of $25 and fundraise a minimum of $125. Participants must be 13 years of age or older on event day to climb the CN Tower.
If you want to compete for the fastest time in climbing the CN Tower, then register for the Elite Climb on May 3. The registration fee is $75. The current WWF stair climb record is 09:54.9, set by competitive tower runner Shaun Stephens-Whale in 2017.
The landmark event, held since 1991, set a fundraising record in 2024, with 5,500 climbers conquering the tower and raising an incredible $1.53 million.
WWF conservation efforts have delivered significant conservation results, from nearly tripling Nepal’s wild tiger population to advancing protection for hundreds of thousands of square kilometres of critical habitat for Arctic species.
