#CNOY is Coming Up – And We Need You!

About CNOY

The Coldest Night of the Year is a moment when tens of thousands of Canadians step outside the warmth and comfort of home and shine a light of welcome and inclusion.

Together, we’re collecting donations that fund critical services at a local charity partner who serves and supports vulnerable families and individuals in our CNOY community.

  •  We walk through the cold and dark in February to declare our concern for people who have no home and take shelter in nooks and crannies.
  •  We walk for those whose days are a battle to house and feed their families and whose nights are filled with fear and frustration.
  •  We walk for those driven from home by violence and abuse. And we walk for people overwhelmed by isolation, guilt, and despair.
  •  We walk humbly, realizing that anyone can lose their footing and then lose everything else.

Each step we take brings someone closer to safety, health and home, as together, we raise funds for organizations whose commitment and work transforms peoples’ lives.

About the event

Join us on February 22, 2025!

The Coldest Night of the Year is a winterrific family-friendly 2 or 5 km fundraising walk in support of local charities serving people experiencing hurt, hunger, and homelessness.

Each year in February, tens of thousands of Canadians step outside the warmth and comfort of home to shine a light of welcome and compassion in their communities. Since 2011, the Coldest Night of the Year has raised over $75,000,000 across Canada in 190 Canadian communities – 100% of net proceeds stay local to support our CNOY charity partners.

How to Participate:

Select one of two fun ways to participate in 2025:

 Offsite Walk: All CNOY locations will welcome offsite fundraisers who self-organize either with friends or individually, walking any day in February on a route they choose.
