Walk In Her Shoes with the WHCA

This Sunday, March 10th, join members of the WHCA staff as they participate in the Walk In Her Shoes Challenge from 12 to 3 pm at the Calgary zoo.

The Walk In Her Shoes Challenge was created to celebrate International Women’s Day which falls on March 8 this year. Women and girls in developing countries must walk an average of 10,000 steps every day to collect the basics their families need to survive. This challenge is to encourage Calgarians to walk in solidarity with these women and girls and raise awareness and funds to aid in breaking the cycle of poverty.

So please drop-in to this event on Sunday and join WHCA staff in raising awareness! The afternoon features a 5,000 step mapped walk around the zoo featuring prizes, games, crafts, and activities for the kids. Only $25 to cover your registration plus 3 guests, which grants you all admission into the Calgary Zoo.

For details and registration, visit care.ca/calgarywalks. Preregistration is required.

See you there!
