A journey from council meetings to mountain peaks

Airdrie Councilwoman Tina Petrow has resolved to hike to fight hunger in Airdrie. Tina would ascend three mountains for 30-35 days. This journey is like a ray of hope for many who have to rely on the Food Banks for assistance. 

Her goal for the hike is not personal achievement. She aims to raise a stupendous $10,000. The total amount raised by Petrow would be used to support the Airdrie Food Bank.

Petrow said, “I figured the weather’s still great. Let’s get out and do something challenging. Hopefully, people can support them through me doing this.”
