The popular walkathon campaign returns to downtown Victoria and the WestShore on Saturday, February 25. Our Place Society and the Pacific Centre Family Services Association (in the WestShore) for the 2023 Coldest Night of the Year charity two- and five-kilometre walks. Together, we are proud to offer families, faith, work, school and community groups the opportunity to walk in solidarity and raise awareness and funds to help serve the hungry, homeless, and hurting people in our community. Coldest Night has become one of the country’s most successful community action campaigns. People can sign up at https://cnoy.org/location/victoriapandora for the downtown walk and https://cnoy.org/location/victoriawestshore for the Langford walk starting at Starlight Stadium. Like other years, we will have warmups, family friendly activities, warm toques and warmer bowl of chili (for those who fundraise).
