Stepping up on 9/11 

September 22, 2025

On September 11, the Muskrat Falls Volunteer Emergency Response Team partnered with the Happy Valley-Goose Bay Volunteer Fire Department to complete the 110-story 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb. Started in 2005 to honour the firefighters and first responders who lost their lives on September 11, 2001, the challenge was introduced in Canada in 2021.

This year, Hydro participants raised more than $1,700 for local organizations including the SPCA, Labrador Friendship Centre, MS Canada, Kids Eat Smart and the Canadian Red Cross wildfire relief.
