The Challenge

Got a big-hearted business, workplace, group, church, or community? Step up and join the Challenge to compete for your local pride in support of CNOY. Check the National Challengeboard to see more!

About Why Not City Mission

What if we could prevent homelessness before people are actually on the streets? Good news! That's our goal.


At Why Not City Missions, we work with high-risk youth and work to stabilize their lives and build their skills so they never have to live in a tent by the creek. We meet them in our youth drop-in centre and come alongside them, with our goal to Empower Youth Through Relationship.


In 2021 we also started tackling the issue of youth homelessness directly by launching Why Not Youth Housing and opening our first house for young men, Charlie’s Place. In 2022, we purchased and opened SHYP, Supportive Housing for Young Parents where our goal is to keep young families together by providing wrap-around supports from the start.


Our expenses have climbed as we have gone from supporting the youth centre to adding on the operation of two houses for previously homeless youth. Therefore, we have raised our goal for this event to $60,000! A fundraiser like this makes a huge difference toward our ability to do this important work.
