These incredible milestones reflect the team’s passion and commitment to helping vulnerable individuals in Montreal.
What is the Coldest Night of the Year?
The Coldest Night of the Year (CNOY) is a national fundraising walk that supports charities serving people experiencing hurt, hunger, and homelessness. Held annually on a chilly February evening, the event invites participants to walk 2, 5, or 10 kilometers in solidarity with those who endure the cold every night. Funds raised go directly to local charities, like the St-James Drop-In Centre, to support their vital work in the community.
