Calgary’s business community will pull together at a unique event in support of Special Olympic Athletes in Alberta. Heritage Park, the Alberta Law Enforcement Torch Run, Calgary Police Service and Canadian Pacific Railway have teamed up to host the first ever “train pull for Special Olympics” on September 25 at Heritage Park in Calgary.
“The ‘Pulling the Past for the Future’ will feature teams of 15 people from corporate Calgary pulling an 80-ton vintage CPR steam locomotive a distance of 25 feet,” said CPR Police Service Superintendent, Gerry Fish. “In addition to raising thousands of dollars for an important cause, the teams will be having fun while competing for bragging rights for who can pull a historical locomotive in the fastest time.”
