The Coldest Night of the Year is a winterrific family-friendly fundraising walk in support of local charities. Let’s change the tune for people experiencing hurt, hunger, and homelessness... because it’s cold out there. Join us on February 22, 2025 - team up, fundraise, and walk with us!
The 2km and 5 km routes are separate from each other. The 2km walk is designed to have a rest stop at Morberg House. The 5 km walk is utilizing another large facility as their rest spot and will return to the finish by passing Morberg House.
Morberg House is our 12 bed recovery program for men.
St. Boniface Street Links is pleased and excited to host the 2025 Coldest Night of the Year Event! By investing in St. Boniface Street Links, you are not just supporting Morberg House, but you are contributing to a holistic approach that transforms lives and delivers enduring benefits for our city.

Benefits: A Safer and Healthier Community
Life-Saving Impact: The housing-first approach has led to a significant reduction in the risk of overdose deaths among our clients.
Decreased Emergency Response: There has been a notable decline in emergency response calls to both Winnipeg Police Service (WPS) and Emergency Medical Services (EMS), reflecting decreased crisis situations for those we’ve housed with supports.
Enhanced Community Safety: Our efforts have resulted in a substantial reduction in crime rates within our communities, contributing to a safer environment for all residents.
