Coldest Night of the Year (CNOY) is one of our most meaningful community events—bringing people together to walk in solidarity with those in our community who are experiencing hurt, hunger, or hardship. Hosted locally by Castlegar Community Services Society, CNOY is both a powerful awareness-building event and a vital fundraiser that helps support the programs and services our neighbours rely on year-round. Volunteers are essential to making Coldest Night of the Year a success. From event-day roles to behind-the-scenes support, volunteering with CNOY is a fun, energizing way to give back, meet new people, and be part of something bigger than yourself. Whether you have a few hours or want to be more involved, your time and energy make a real difference—and we’d love to have you on the team.
