Foster Klippenstein has been a volunteer firefighter for 2 years now with the Rosetown fire department. In 2019 he decided to try out for the 2020 Saskatchewan fire fighter Calendar and did this to raise money for the Jim Pattison children’s hospital.  Klippenstein received enough votes to be in the calendar.

This year with COVID 19 there was no opportunity to have the selection night for the 2021 calendar. They decided to do an all star edition. They took firefighters from the previous years and are making a calendar like this. You pick your favourite fire fighter and vote.

Each vote costs .50 cents. If you spend more than $40 You will receive a tax receipt. Foster is doing this to raise money for the children’s hospital.

"With these uncertain times I believe health care is most important. I would love to have people vote for me but it’s not about me. It’s about the charity," Foster said.

In an interview with West Central Online, Klippenstein was asked how much he was able to raise when he decided to get involved and what the selection process is like.

Klippenstein replied, "I don’t know how much I raised. It’s all in secret. You just know if you get a spot or not. The selection process was way out side my comfort zone. I had to get on stage in my under wear. I sky dive quite a bit and I was more scared to get on stage than I was to jump out of a plane. There was also a lot of diet and training involved. It was not easy."

We also asked him is it just a few select firefighters that were then entered in for this year to receive votes and do you know how many total are in the running?

Klippenstein answered,"I believe there is 23 guys/ girls to vote for and 12 spots available."

He also added that he has been a firefighter in the Rosetown area for about 5 years and would like to thank everyone in the Rosetown area for their support including the Brick & Mortar Beauty company for doing a great job selling calendars and promoting this as well.
