Coldest Night of the Year
Feb

Coldest Night of the Year

Coldest Night of the Year is a family-friendly walk that gives us a simple but powerful way to live out our call to love our neighbours. On one of the coldest nights of the year, our Gateway community will step outside together to walk in solidarity with those in our city who experience hurt, hunger, and homelessness.

We’re inviting you to join the Gateway Team; fundraise and walk with us as we support Lionhearts., who, through their incredible partnerships, have shared over $1 million worth of new goods with charitable organizations across our community. Every dollar raised through Coldest Night of the Year helps Lionhearts continue this life-giving work with dignity and compassion.

Whether you walk 2 km or 5 km, come as you are—bring your family, friends, small group, or ministry team. This is a meaningful opportunity to serve together, be present in our city, and remind others they are not alone.
