United Way/Centraide Stormont, Dundas, and Glengarry hasn't added a story.

We're taking building community to new heights.. again!

 

Rappel down the St. Lawrence Seaway Management Corporation building, one of the tallest buildings in Cornwall, to raise money for the United Way/Centraide Stormont, Dundas & Glengarry (UWC SDG).  We are partnering with Over The Edge and St. Lawrence Seaway Management Corporation to bring urban rappelling back to Cornwall to support our local communities.

 

** Register by Tuesday, September 10 for a chance to win a $500 Visa gift card! **

 

 

 

 

EVENT DATE: September 21, 2024

LOCATION: St. Lawrence Seaway Management Corporation

 

How do I participate? 

  1. SIGN UP NOW to become a Participant
  2. Easily set up your personal fundraising page
  3. Reach the $1000 fundraising minimum! The first 92 people to reach this milestone will secure their spot to rappel. 
  4. Experience the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to rappel

If you don’t raise $1,000 by September 21, 2024, clients in our funded programs will still benefit from your hard work! All donations are final and refunds will not be issued if you do not meet the $1,000 fundraising goal required to go Over The Edge.

 

Requirements in order to participate: 

  1. There is a weight minimum and maximum between 100 lbs and 300 lbs for safety purposes in order to rappel.
  2. There is no age restriction (people in their 80s and 90s have rappelled), but anyone under 18 requires a signature on a legal waiver from a parent or guardian to participate.
  3. You are willing to rappel down a 9 story building (nearly 100ft).
  4. No experience necessary! The Over the Edge team will provide training to help you rappel. 
  5. There is a $75 fee to sign up. This counts towards the $1000 fundraising minimum to participate. 

Rain or shine we will rappel! Our expert team leaders are on site to ensure a safe trip for everyone. In the chance of rain, we will still be going down! In the case of more severe weather, we will halt and re-assess for the safety of our rappelers.

Nous élevons le développement communautaire vers de nouveaux sommets. . . encore une fois !

Descendez en rappel l’édifice de la Corporation de Gestion de la Voie Maritime du Saint-Laurent, l’un des plus hauts bâtiments de Cornwall, pour amasser des fonds pour United Way/Centraide Stormont, Dundas, & Glengarry (UWC SDG).

  4. Aucune expérience nécessaire! L’équipe Over The Edge vous offrira la formation nécessaire.
  5. Les frais d’inscription sont de 75 $, mais ils comptent pour l’atteinte de l’objectif de 1 000 $.

La descente aura lieu beau temps, mauvais temps. Nos spécialistes de la descente sont sur place pour assurer la sécurité de tout le monde. Il y a possibilité de pluie? La descente a lieu. Si les conditions se font plus menaçantes, nous arrêterons l’événement pour réévaluer la sécurité.

FAQ

FAQ

 

What is the minimum age to rappel?

Anyone can participate in an Over The Edge event. People in their 80s and 90s rappel! The only restriction is that anyone under the age of 18 requires a parent or guardian’s signature on the legal waiver.

What is the fundraising deadline?

Event Day is the official fundraising deadline. If you haven’t quite met your target by Event Day, you can contact your event manager to hold you rappel spot with a credit card.

Do I need to have experience to participate?

Not at all! Our technicians will provide all of the training and support you need to go Over The Edge!

Can I wear a costume?

Absolutely! Our on-site technical team will do their best to make your costume work for your rappel. The technician team has the final say in whether the costume is safe enough to rappel. Stringy, loose, or excessive costumes must be avoided. Head pieces that will not accommodate a helmet, obscure the vision, or are notably large or heavy will rarely be allows.

What is the minimum/maximum weight to rappel?

Over The Edge’s safety standards require that people be between 100 & 300 lbs in order to safely rappel.

FOIRE AUX QUESTIONS

 

Quel est l’âge minimum pour faire du rappel?

Il n’y a aucune limite d’âge (des personnes de 80 et 90 ans ont déjà fait du rappel), mais si vous avez moins de 18 ans, votre parent ou tuteur doit signer une décharge de responsabilité.

Pas du tout! Notre équipe technique vous fournira la formation et le soutien dont vous avez besoin pour la descente en rappel.

Puis-je porter un costume?

Bien sûr! Notre équipe technique sur place fera de son mieux pour que vous puissiez porter votre costume, mais c’est ultimement elle qui déterminera si votre costume est sécuritaire ou non. Évitez les costumes longs, amples ou surdimensionnés. Les parures de tête qui empêchent le port du casque, nuisent à la vision ou sont trop grosses ou trop lourdes sont rarement permises.

Quelle est la limite de poids pour la descente en rappel?

En vertu des normes de sécurité de l’entreprise Over The Edge, vous devez peser entre 45 et 135 kg (100-300 lb) pour faire du rappel en toute sécurité.
