"I love sport and I love challenges. Why not combine them for a good cause? Being an immigrant myself, I know how hard it is to start a new life in Canada from scratch. I also know that with supporting hands and hearts, it becomes much easier. TIES is the best place to find both. I hope you can join us to make a few steps towards empowering newcomers and low-income Canadians on their road to success to find their rightful place in Canadian society." - Nataliya Lykhosherstova, TIES LINC Literacy Instructor, PBLA Lead On October 5th, Nataliya's conquering 802 steps at the Calgary Tower for TIES Climb for New Beginnings!💪 Join her in making a difference—support Nataliya's campaign here:  https://lnkd.in/gM_yWT_5 #tiesclimb #canadiancharity #yyccharity
