Walk is OFF. Soup is ON.

We have made the difficult decision to cancel the walk-portion of this year’s Halifax Downtown CNOY due to the forecast.

While we recognize that buses aren’t running, if you are able to safely travel, we would love for you to join us from 4-6pm for Check-in, Celebration with the band, and a hot meal (food will be served at 5pm).

If you are not able to travel to our location, please join our livestream online . Click on ‘CNOY 2024’. This link, hosted on our location sponsor’s website, will be available and active by 4pm.

If anything further changes, we will notify you via email.

We have the choice to walk or not tonight; those we are honouring who are homeless don’t always have that privilege. For this reason we:

• raise awareness of the housing insecurity crisis in our country
  and
• raise funds for ARK. You can continue to fundraise as we are able to receive donations for CNOY until March 31st.

If you have cash donations please refer to the CNOY website FAQ and submit them directly to CNOY. Please do not drop off any CNOY donations/cash to ARK.

Thank you for making a difference!

Hope to see you tonight,

Dorothy, Carrie & Beth
