Streets Alive Mission is ready for the Coldest Night walk 2026

This year, Streets Alive Mission marks 15 years since its first Coldest Night of the Year event  – and they’re getting ready for the 2026 walk. The family-friendly winter event takes place across the country on February 28. In Lethbridge, the walk will be held at Festival Square. The Coldest Night of the Year raises funds for people experiencing hurt, hunger, and homelessness. Streets Alive Mission is hoping to raise $70,000 in 2026. Zandria Logue with the charity explains which programs will benefit from the funds raised. 

She says the event has raised just over 10 per cent of its goal. The walk will start at 5:00 p.m., but registration opens at 4:00 p.m.
