Join us on February 22, 2025 for "The Coldest Night of the Year", a winterrific family-friendly 2 or 5 km fundraising walk in support of The Refuge.

Each year in February, tens of thousands of Canadians step outside the warmth and comfort of home to shine a light of welcome and compassion in their communities. Since 2011, the Coldest Night of the Year has raised over $75,000,000 across Canada in 190 Canadian communities – 100% of net proceeds stay local to support our CNOY charity partners.

You can support the cause in either of these two ways:

1) You can donate.
2) OR you can join our Whitby Christian team on the walk to help raise funds. *You must register to participate in the walk.*

Here are the steps you need to take in order to register and/or donate!

1. Go to Home - Coldest Night of the Year 2025 Canada.
2. Follow the prompts to join the team or donate to the team. If you are joining our walking team, the name is "Whitby Christian Walkers".
3. Once you join the team, there will be a link sent to you that you can share with people to have them sponsor you.

Once registered, raise those funds! Then, on February 22, meet us at Oshawa The Refuge at Lliv Hall - 38 Lliv blvd Oshawa L1H4K2. The walk starts at 5 pm but registration begins at 4 pm. There will be refreshments after the walk. There are 2 routes-2km and 5 km.
