We Walk February 22, 2025! - Sign Up your Team NOW!!

The Coldest Night of the Year is a winterrific family-friendly fundraising walk in support of local charities. Let’s change the tune for people experiencing hurt, hunger, and homelessness... because it’s cold out there.

Walk for a cause.

Collingwood, ON – Home Horizon is hosting its 10th annual Coldest Night of the Year event, a national event that raises funds for youth who are at risk of homelessness in our community. With over 190 charities participating across Canada, Home Horizon has secured a spot in the top 10 ranking 6th overall in total fundraising in 2024 and hopes to keep climbing in the top 5 this year.  On February 22, 2025, we will walk together (or apart) to show our support for those youth who do not have a safe place to call home.

“Our high ranking is thanks to our caring community,” says Joan Schatz, Fundraising Chair for Home Horizon. “South Georgian Bay values our work and puts youth safety and futures first. We still need your support—start a team and walk with us!” Thank you to our long-time Event Lead sponsors Beavertails, The Insurance Store and MJ Byrnes Irish Pub.

About the event:

On February 22nd, Collingwood & South Georgian Bay will unite for a powerful cause—supporting Home Horizon and the Barbara Weider House, which provide vital services for youth at risk of homelessness.

This 2-5 km winter walk is part of a nationwide movement across 190+ communities. Every step we take shows that our community cares and is ready to make a real difference in the lives of those who need it most.

The in-person event kicks off at Trinity United Church, 140 Maple Street, Collingwood, while other teams will walk in their own groups.

Let’s show the strength of our community—start a team, invite your friends, and walk with us. Together, we can change lives!
