We’re excited to present the third year of ‘Blue Door at Your Door’ (BD@YD) this fall. This one-hour telethon will be broadcast on CTV Ottawa and The Ottawa Mission YouTube channel to present some of Canada’s most talented musicians, and share stories of hope from those touched by The Mission’s support services. You’ll also have the opportunity to order a Canadian inspired meal prepared by our Food Services Training Program Students delivered right to your door! Stay tuned for more details.

This new event is a great way for schools to get involved with The Mission and learn more about the important work we do. Students will have the opportunity to learn about homelessness in the community, participate in a food drive, and help raise funds for families who access our food truck program. Registered schools will have access to resources and videos about The Ottawa Mission and how we serve the community.

The Ottawa Mission has been participating in this National event for many years. The Coldest Night of the Year is a moment where tens of thousands of Canadians step outside the warmth and comfort of their homes to participate in a fundraising walk, to support people experiencing homelessness and hunger. This year’s event is scheduled for February 25 2023 IN PERSON at the SHAW Center. Participants will gather for either a 2km or 5km walk around the downtown core and enjoy chili after!
