The College community is encouraged to join NC’s team -the NC Knight Walkers – on Saturday, February 24 by participating in the Coldest Night of the Year walk at the Welland Campus or by supporting the team through donations.
The Welland CNOY walk, in support of The Open Arms Mission of Welland, will kick off at NC’s Welland Campus at 4 p.m. with a reception in the Core to follow. Registration will begin at 2:30 p.m., team/participant check-in will be at 3 p.m., followed by the walk at 4 p.m., refreshments at 5 p.m., and a wrap-up at 6 p.m.
The two-kilometre route will take walkers from the Athletic Centre, towards First Avenue and then south on First Avenue to Woodlawn Road. They’ll move down Woodlawn Road to Rice Road, and then right on Talbot Trail, which brings them back into the Welland Campus. Walkers will proceed to the Athletic Centre to finish the loop. Participants can complete the loop once or twice.
Alternatively, individuals who can’t make it to the main event but would still like to participate can register online and set up a personal Fundhub page to collect pledges and walk an offsite route any day in February.
Visit the team’s fundraising page to join or donate.
