February 12, 2026: On Saturday, February 28, members of the Rotary Club of West Ottawa will step into the cold in solidarity with neighbours who face it every day.
The Coldest Night of the Year is a nationwide winter walk that raises funds for local charities serving people experiencing homelessness, hunger, and hardship. Across Canada, communities gather to walk together and to remember that for many, winter is not simply uncomfortable: it is uncertain.
RCWO is proud to participate in this meaningful event.
We would love for you to join us.
📅 Saturday, February 28
🕓 4:00 pm; choose a 30-minute or 1-hour walking route
📍 Rogers Centre; delicious chili from Chef Ric served at the end
💲 Free to participate; no minimum fundraising requirement
You can get involved in different ways:
- Join the West Ottawa Rotary Club team and walk with us
- Donate to support our team’s efforts
- Show support with a Facebook photo frame
Every step and every dollar helps provide warmth, shelter, and hope.
Thank you for standing with our community.

Team Captain
