Brothers and Sisters,
As many of you will have noticed, homelessness continues to be prevalent in our communities and not just bigger cities.
CNOY (Coldest Night of the Year) is a 5km or 2km 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. Last year, over 40,000 walkers across Canada joined this event, raising $15 million dollars– 100% of net proceeds stay local to support our CNOY charity partners.
This year for our 3rd Annual Unifor Local 707 CNOY walk, we have chosen to raise funds to support the homeless in the Burlington, with the outreach program known as “Open Doors”
Consider joining our team – Unifor Local 707 and walk with us on Saturday February 28th 2026 at:
St. Christopher’s Anglican Church– 662 Guelph Line, Burlington, ON
Schedule
- 4:00 pm: Check-in
- 4:45 pm: Opening Remarks
- 5:00 pm: Walk
- 6:00 pm: Light snack served
This walk raises money for folks in our community who need our help. Some of them hungry, more than a few hurting and regrettably, some who are experiencing homelessness too. Adults, moms and kids, seniors and youth as well.
Join us and create a difference for those that live in our community.
CNOY is a fun social walk, with some snacks and refreshments afterwards. Join us in doing something for others with friends, family and provide yourself with a good dose of happiness on a cold winters day!
You are welcome to include family and/or friends. If you cannot join us but would like to make a difference please consider donating to our team.
