The Coldest Night of the Year is a winterrific family-friendly fundraising walk in support of local charities. We are looking for more route marshals to encourage walkers and keep them safe. You'll be assigned to a key corner or intersection by your route captain. You will often hold a CNOY sign (provided), direct and encourage walkers, and let them know their current distance and if applicable how far to the rest stop. To register, visit www.cnoy.org/uxbridge, click "volunteer" then select "Uxbridge - North House" in the drop down.
