Take a Walk That Matters

We're gearing up for another Coldest Night of the Year adventure on Saturday, February 20th, 2016, here in Port Hope. CNOY is Canada's National Walk for Homelessness, a fun, family-friendly walking fundraiser that raises money for the hungry, homeless and hurting in 100+ communities across Canada.

An estimated 150,000 Canadians experience homelessness outside, and hundreds of thousands more face the constant challenge of living right on the edge - adults, youth, families, the elderly - we’re walking for them all on February 20th.
People struggling with:

•  living at or below the poverty line

•  addictions or substance abuse

•  community and social support

•  race or gender discrimination

•  access to adequate housing

•  access to adequate food

•  access to employment

•  mental health issues

​
Each local charity that hosts the WALK in their community is known for their commitment to serving people in need. So that's who we're walking for. People in your community. Neighbours down your street. Kids you see every day. A family member you love. Maybe you?                                                                                                                                                                                                                              We'd love to exceed last year's count of 150 walkers. If you'd like to join us for Coldest Night of the Year, on February 20, the CNOY site will guide you through sign up (they've made this really easy).​
