2024 Coldest Night of the Year -February 24th Community Walk-Update

Share This Post

Brothers and Sisters,

As you have noticed homelessness is more and more prevalent in our communities and not just bigger cities.

Yesterday, Our Local took a another step in aiding our communities with  our 1st Unifor Local 707 CNOY walk which raised funds to support the homeless in the Burlington outreach program known as “Open Doors”. Special Thank you goes to Nichole Brennan who organized the event and all those who contributed in the walk or donated.

Collectively over $3,956.00 was raised which is almost double our original target.

In Solidarity,

Mark Sciberras

President, Unifor Local 707

CNOY (Coldest Night of the Year) is a 5km walk where 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 $96,000,000 across Canada in 166 communities – 100% of net proceeds stay local to support our CNOY charity partners.
