Hosted by Caledon Community Services
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. On Saturday, February 26 this walk is occurring in almost 200 communities across Canada. And in Caledon too! The pandemic is isolating us from one another but it can't stop our commitment to step up for those in our community struggling with precarious housing. PLEASE, team up, walk and fundraise! It’s cold out there... but there’s no place like home.

Event Day Details
Save the date - Event Day is February 26, 2022!
We can't be "together together" on our walk but we can be together in spirit! Self-organize your own team and join us virtually on Saturday, February 26, 2022. Scroll down to read all the event day details!
Start
We're walking together but virtually so your start location is up to you! However, the Coldest Night of the Year is asking us not only to fundraise in support of those whose housing is precarious and unsafe but also to learn about that difficult life of insecurity.
One way to learn is through experience. We invite you to experience your walk during a cold night and share thoughts on important changes required on your social platforms. #CaledonCNOY2022 will trend across @YourCaledon on Saturday, February 26 and the following days when we will share the walks and thoughts of all sponsors and participants.

Walkers who raise $150+ (adults 18 and over) or $75 (children/youth 17 and under) will receive a CNOY toque as a thank you!
