Coldest Night of the Year

Every February, Canadians step into the cold to show compassion and support for their communities through the Coldest Night of the Year. Since 2011, the event has raised over $75 million in 190 communities, with all net proceeds staying local to help our charity partners provide essential services.

We walk to stand with those facing homelessness, hunger, violence, and deep isolation—recognizing how easily anyone can lose their footing. Each step we take helps bring someone closer to safety, stability, and home.
