About the Event

Join us on February 25, 2023!

The Coldest Night of the Year is a winterrific family-friendly walk to raise money for local charities serving people experiencing hurt, hunger, and homelessness. Team up, fundraise, walk, and gather for good... because it’s cold out there.


CNOY is a moment each year when 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 $57,000,000 across Canada in 166 communities – 100% of net proceeds stay local to support our CNOY charity partners.

CNOY Toques

Our thanks for a fundraising job well done!

When you go the extra mile and fundraise ($150 for adults, $75 for youth under 17 or under) we'll celebrate your efforts with an oh-so-comfy 2023 CNOY Toque.


What if?

Your safety comes first.

If the past few years have taught us anything, it’s that things can change quickly! Staffing challenges or covid-related health risks might complicate things. If provincial, municipal, or local restrictions take effect, we'll be ready to adjust and will communicate with you directly to keep you up to date.
