What’s happening?

Coldest Night of the Year is a unique way for you and your business, school, church, or community group to be part of a national event and to support Our Place Society to make a difference in your community.

Join us for a 2 km or 5 km walk through the streets of Victoria in February, starting at 1027 Pandora Ave. The evening will include music, food, and prizes, as well as a chance to meet and connect with the community you’ve come to support. This is a family-friendly event, appropriate for all ages!

Join Our Place Society on February 28 and walk in solidarity with Victoria’s hungry and homeless community. Sign up for an evening of social action to help the people in our community who need it the most.
