Some important instructions:

Virtual CNOY Day
Wondering how a virtual CNOY will work? Below is a timeline of what to expect:
- On Friday February 19 (the day before CNOY) you will be receiving a CNOY Kick Off email including a short opening ceremonies video of a few messages from CCS, our Lead Sponsor, a virtual tour of The Exchange and a stretch to get you warmed up for your walk!
- We encourage you to take a picture or a brief video (15 sec max) during your walk and post to social media using the hashtag #CaledonCNOY21. We will be collecting all the pictures to put together a CNOY 2021 video!
- On Saturday February 20th CNOY Day we encourage you to join us at 7:00pm for a 30 minute Zoom “Virtual Finish Line” where we will make some special prize draws for Top Community fundraiser, Top Team Fundraiser and door prizes! Please use this link to login: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86186695461
As a Virtual Walk, this is your own self-organized walk! Here are some key things you'll need to do on February 20 (or whatever day in February you decide to walk):
- Gather with your covid-safe bubble (or on your own)
- Map out a safe 2-5 km route
- Let someone know where you are
- Bring a cell phone in case of emergency
- Share online as you go! #CaledonCNOY21
- Keep fundraising (half of all fundraising happens in the last week!)
- The following week you will receive an email with the video of all your pictures and our final results!
Thank you for your support and participation and helping your neighbours in need! Without you we would not be able to do what we do. Enjoy your walk and be safe!
About Caledon Community Services
The community’s needs have been CCS’ focus since 1971. Our vision, mission and values guide our conduct with clients, customers, staff, volunteers and other stakeholders. With the opening of the Exchange community hub in 2013, CCS assumed a leadership role in poverty reduction and community building.
Our vision to achieve a ‘healthy, engaged compassionate community for all,’ is our beacon that provides a road map for our work, serving the Caledon community.
We offer confidential support along with a range of resources that alleviate hardship and marginalization, such as counseling, fresh nutritious food, help with home heating and utilities, transportation, employment and language training, recreational/educational subsidies and much more.
In the interest of public safety we have decided to host CNOY virtually. All walkers will be invited to a virtual kick-off and post event celebration! Register today and help your neighbour in need!
