Because of this woman, Brooke Jones who campaigned, fundraised, researched and trained herself, the Tahsis Recreation Centre climbing wall will be reopening soon.

Last night 20 volunteers came out to learn how to be belayers. (The people who hold the ropes on the ground.) We covered a lot in two hours and will meet once more to get certified. The plan is to have the wall open early March.
