Please read the below from NBOTAC Member Start Me Up Niagara.

We would like to invite you to consider an inspiring and meaningful team-building opportunity: participating in the Coldest Night of the Year (CNOY) walk on Saturday, February 22, 2025, in St. Catharines.

CNOY is a family-friendly walk that raises funds and awareness for organizations like Start Me Up Niagara, which supports individuals in our community facing poverty, food insecurity, compromised mental health and the traumas of being unhoused. By forming a team with colleagues, friends, or family, your team can make a real difference while strengthening connections and having fun together.
Here’s how you can get involved:

  • Form a Team: Register your business and rally your staff to join. Please view the form HERE
  • Promote a Cause: Walk in solidarity with those who face the cold each day.
  • Make a Local Impact: Funds raised directly support essential services in the Niagara Region.

Thank you for considering this opportunity to bring warmth and hope to those in need this winter. Participating in CNOY is not just a great way to give back, but also an incredible team-building activity. Let’s walk together for change! Together, we can make a lasting impact in our community.

Thank you, and have a great business day!
