What is the Warm Soles Night Walk?

This is not just a typical walk. It’s an experience designed to remind us of the struggles our homeless neighbors face on the coldest nights of the year. By walking together, we honor their resilience and bring awareness to their challenges while raising vital funds to provide warmth, shelter, and essentials during the harsh winter months.

 

How long is the walk experience? 

The walk experience is a one-mile journey through the Queen's University campus.
