There’s still time to get a team together for the Coldest Night of the Year walk, which takes place on Feb. 20 to raise funds for the Salvation Army Food Bank.

Registration begins at 4 p.m. and closes at 8 at First United Church.

All walkers must check-in and sign a waiver form before participating.

The opening ceremony is in front of City Hall at 5. From 6 to 8 p.m. a warm, light meal will be served to all walkers and volunteers at the Seniors Fifth Avenue Activity Centre where the walk concludes.

Walkers who raise $150 (adults) or $75 (youth aged 13-17) do not have to pay the $25 registration fee.

Rest stops will be provided at Starbucks, Piccadilly Mall and at the Lighthouse Shelter.

Safety and support volunteers will be at key corners and intersections.

Dress for the weather, whatever it is.
