It’s that time of the year when St Augustine’s gathers its hardy members to fundraise and walk in the Coldest Night of the Year (CNOY), a Canada-wide initiative to support the homeless, hungry, and hurting in our communities. The walk takes place downtown on Saturday, February 28 at 5 pm. Join our team and walk with us, or donate to a team member as we raise funds for programs and housing for some of the most vulnerable members of our city. Our team has already been challenged by Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd to see who can raise the most funds and gather the most team members. Coaldale Mennonite “Walkers and Talkers” and E Free’s team always put up a fierce but friendly challenge, too, in pursuit of the coveted “Ice Cube” trophy (presently on display in the Narthex), or the “Frozen Buns” award for the largest team. Our team members have ranged in age from 4 to 80, and we always have a wonderful time. Last year, we raised the incredible sum of just over $14,000 — “dare we ask or imagine” even more?
