Coldest Night of the Year (CNOY) is coming back to Kincardine on February 24th, 2024.

What is CNOY?

It’s a fundraiser that focuses on helping people in your community who are experiencing Hurt, Hungry, and Homelessness. You sign up, ask for pledges, and do either a 2km or 5km walk in the cold to help the people in your community. 2023’s event was an AMAZING success and we’re hoping 2024’s will be the same.

Who are the Charities and how do they support Kincardine?

United Way of Bruce Grey has been around for 25 years.
