 Coldest Night of the Year 2024 campaign begins 

United Way Perth-Huron and Shelterlink Youth Services are hoping for more participation and fundraising for the upcoming Coldest Night of the Year walk to support those facing homelessness. The Coldest Night of the Year walk will return to Stratford’s Upper Queens Park on February 24, 2024. The press release from the United Way Perth-Huron said the in-person walk starts at the Upper Queens Park bandshell and will circuit around Avon River. Walkers will return to the bandshell and enjoy dinner courtesy of Soup Surreal. The event check-in begins at 4 p.m. and opening ceremonies start at 5 p.m. “Our event is fun, but our cause is serious,” Sonya Heyen, manager of resource development and communications at United Way Perth-Huron, said. “We need the compassionate and caring people to make a stand and show solidarity for people facing homelessness and that's why we walk on a cold evening." The Coldest Night of the Year Walk aims to raise $180,000 for Shelterlink Youth Services and the Connection Centre, run by the United Way Perth-Huron. The event raised $152,419 during their 2023 walk. Shelterlink Youth Services provides emergency services and outreach for youth 16 to 24-years-old in Perth County who are either experiencing or at risk of experiencing homelessness. The Connection Centre provides shelter, showers, laundry, and hot meals at St. Paul’s Anglican Church for those facing homelessness in Stratford.

  Are you on track? If you're like most people, you don't think of your mortgage as something that needs to be reviewed on an annual basis but it's absolutely essential if you want to make sure you're on track to achieving your financial goals. Your circumstances or priorities may have changed over the last year , which means your mortgage needs may also have changed. An annual mortgage checkup will help you make sure that: with the historically low rates caused by the pandemic, we’ve done the analysis needed to determine if you can take advantage of those low rates ; you are using your prepayment privileges to maximize your mortgage principal reduction ; large amounts of high-interest debt are transferred to a lower interest rate so you can have one manageable payment, boost your cash flow and save on interest costs (if you have enough equity in your home); you get a professional review of your options if your mortgage is renewing in the next 12 months ; and...
