Event Day Details

Save the date - CNOY Day is February 22, 2025!

Participer à cette marche immersive nous permettra de comprendre, ne serait-ce qu’un instant, les défis des personnes en situation d’itinérance, surtout face aux hivers québécois. Malgré nos vêtements chauds et nos boissons réconfortantes, ce sera un moment de réflexion sur leur réalité. Votre présence va au-delà de la marche : elle témoigne de votre engagement envers les plus vulnérables et soutient directement la mission de Ricochet grâce à votre collecte de fonds.

***

Taking part in this immersive walk will enable us to understand, if only for a moment, the challenges faced by people experiencing homelessness, especially during Quebec winters. Despite our warm clothes and comforting drinks, it will be a moment of reflection on their reality. Your presence goes beyond the walk: it testifies to your commitment to the most vulnerable, and directly supports Ricochet's mission through your fundraising.
