One hundred fifty participants were seen strutting around downtown North Battleford, topped with blue toques, walking for a cause.
The Battlefords Lighthouse put on their first Coldest Night of the Year Walk Saturday evening.
The event was a fundraiser for their emergency shelter as well as their meal program.
Participants could choose from a two kilometre, five kilometre and ten kilometre walk on the sunny afternoon.
Lighthouse Coordinator Caitlin Glencross says people involved in the walk warmed up with a nice meal when they were finished.
“The walk ended at Living Faith Chapel, where we had a chili meal for the walkers.”
She also wanted to thank the Battlefords community for their continued support.
“People were really happy to be here today, there was definitely an excitement in the air. People were excited to show their support for the homeless in North Battleford.”
The walk is a national event and raised $30,000 in the Battlefords alone.
