Coldest Night of the Year

 
   
 
The Victoria Rotarians have created a team – Victoria's Raging Rotarians – to participate in the 2025 Coldest Night of the Year Walk. The goal is for Victoria-area clubs to participate, including INTERACT and ROTARACT, and raise funds for Our Place. In 2022 – 2024 we raised over $5000 each year. In 2025 we raised $3270.

The group made our Coldest Night of the Year walk to support the less fortunate at 10:30 AM on Saturday, Feb 22. We started at Ogden Point, progressed through Beacon Hill Park and James Bay, ending back where we started... With lunch at the James bay Pub.
All proceeds go to support the Our Place Society.
                      Raising funds can be fun, too!

2025:

Registration started on Dec 1, 2024. 

Covid-related health risks and operational challenges might not permit us to assemble in large groups in most locations again this year. So instead, we can plan to gather together safely, self-organizing individually or in smaller, covid-friendly teams as permitted.

  • Virtual Walk: Participants will self-organize individually or in team bubbles selecting their own safe walk route near home at a time convenient for them. 
  •  Date: While we encourage everyone to walk on our national event day of February 22, virtual fundraisers can select any day in February to walk if they wish. 
  •  No Registration Fee: The registration fee is no more! Everyone is welcome to come and support their local CNOY charity. (To be confirmed)
  •  Thank You Toques: This year, participants who raise a modest minimum will receive their own CNOY toque as our thank you for fundraising! ($150 for adults 18 and over, $75 for youth 17 and under) (To be confirmed)
  •  Cash + Cheques: There’ll be no cash or cheque collection on event day this year - this will keep everyone a little safer, and reduce the organizing strain on busy CNOY charities
