The
coldest
night
of
the
year
is
a
fundraiser
that
supports
local
charity
partners
every
year
in
communities
across
the
country.
People
gather
to
walk
together
and
fundraise
for
the
local
organizations
that
support
people
who
are
unhoused
since
beginning
in
2011.
The
program
has
raised
43
million
dollars
in
149
communities
across
canada.
A
This
year,
participants
can
join
in
an
in-person
or
a
virtual
walk
in
duncan.
The
event
is
hosted
by
the
canadian
mental
health
association,
couch
and
valley
chapter
so
far.
There
are
292
registered
walkers,
48
teams,
34
volunteers
and
thirty.
Five
thousand
four
hundred
fifty
six
dollars
have
been
raised.
A
This
will
go
to
the
couching
arm
of
the
canadian
mental
health
association
to
facilitate
mental
health
programs,
support
the
warmland
house,
which
is
a
thirty
bed,
emergency
shelter
that
produces
120
meals
daily
and
to
raise
funds
to
create
a
safe
space
for
homeless
youth.
I'm
pleased
to
support
this
organization
and
the
coldest
night
of
the
year
walk.
I
want
to
encourage
my
colleagues
in
the
house
to
find
their
local
walks
and
participate.
