75 people rappel 250 feet for the 2016 Easter Seals Drop Zone

Dozens of people took the plunge and rappelled down a prominent downtown Winnipeg building for charity Wednesday morning.

Global’s Heather Steele was one of those who rappelled down 250 feet as part of the 2016 Easter Seals Drop Zone.

For the first time in its 12 year history, the Drop Zone location changed. The 75 participants rappelled down the Manitoba Hydro building on Portage Avenue.

Drop Zone is the biggest fundraiser for Easter Seals SMD Foundation and more than one million dollars has been raised since 2005.

Global News set up our green screen booth for anyone who wanted to have their photo taken rappelling down the building, without going up 250 feet. You can check out the photos below.
