Calgary CEO climbs stairs for Inn from the Cold

For the last six years, a Calgary woman has been using her birthday to give back to the community.

Suzanne West is the CEO of Imaginea Energy.

Every April 21, she climbs the Crescent Heights stairs 100 times: a feat equal to 11 flights, and a total of 167 steps.

She told City News, she’s moved by how many more people come out each year to raise money for Inn from the Cold.

“These people are completely inspiring to me,” West said. “All of my friends, and my colleagues, and people that I don’t even know, that just came to donate their legs as paying. It literally is so inspiring to me. It’s an honour to do something that makes a difference.”

The final tally has yet to be announced, but West is hoping to break last year’s record of $22,000 raised.
