Stepping up for our community! This past weekend, our President and CEO, Renaud Adams, along with members of our corporate team in Toronto climbed all 1,776 steps of the CN Tower to raise funds for the United Way ClimbUP challenge.

The annual event challenges individuals to climb up the tallest free-standing building in the Western hemisphere to support the United Way in fighting poverty in the Peel, Toronto and York Region. As its signature fundraising event, every dollar raised directly supports the organization’s work to make necessities that foster well-being and belonging accessible by connecting community members to vital local services, including shelter, employment and nutritious food.

At IAMGOLD, we’re committed to working with and supporting our host communities, whether it’s our head office in Toronto or in our national and global host communities.

“Our team’s participation in the United Way ClimbUP challenge not only helps to build stronger communities right at home but also serves to bring our employees together to complete a daring challenge.”

Renaud Adams, President and CEO, IAMGOLD

We’re proud of the team’s perseverance and commitment to the cause, as they completed this 144-floor stairwell fitness challenge.

Kudos to all the climbers and supporters!
