The Coldest Night of the Year is a winterrific family-friendly walk to raise money for local charities serving people experiencing hurt, hunger, and homelessness. Join us on February 24, 2024 – team up, fundraise, walk, and gather for good… because it’s cold out there.

The Youth Services Bureau will be joining more than 180 locations across Canada by participating in the Coldest Night of the Year event. This fun, family-oriented event is designed to raise awareness and funds to support people in our community who are experiencing homelessness.

You can choose to walk 2 km or 5 km along our dedicated Ottawa Centretown route. Bundle up and walk on your own, with your family, or as part of a school or workplace team and help raise funds to support YSB’s shelters for previously homeless youth.

Help us reach our fundraising goal of $35,000 to ensure other young people are able to access shelter and caring support. Together with you, we’re working to prevent adult homelessness.

Register today and on February 24th to help YSB change a young life.
