The Coldest Night of the Year is a winterrific family-friendly walk to raise money for local charities serving people experiencing hurt, hunger, and homelessness. Team up, fundraise, walk, and gather for good... because it’s cold out there.

CNOY is a moment each year when tens of thousands of Canadians step outside the warmth and comfort of home to shine a light of welcome and compassion in their communities. Since 2011 the Coldest Night of the Year has raised over $57,000,000 across Canada in 166 communities where 100% of net proceeds stay local to support our CNOY charity partners.

North America’s Premier Celtic Event

Tartan Terrors are their own Celtic Invasion, mixing music energy with traditional folklore, dance, and humor. With an arsenal featuring classic bagpipes and fiddle, driving drum tones, and signature guitar styles, standing-room only audiences understand why Dig This Magazine declares “(The Terrors) one act to keep an eye on!” The Terrors use their sonic blitz to underscore award winning Step and Highland Dancers and internationally recognized comedic performers alike.

The Tartan Terrors have performed on 4 different continents, in some of the most prestigious Festivals, Highland Games and theaters of North America. Join the phenomenon of the Tartan Terrors and see why Celtic Beat Magazine hails them as “the heirs apparent to the [Celtic] mayhem.”

Whitehorse is the prolific partnership of Melissa McClelland and Luke Doucet. Uninhibited by expectation, boldly adventurous and categorically talented, Whitehorse’s signature sound is always guitar-heavy, harmony-plentiful and lyrically deft.

With an expansive run of records that freely and thrillingly dip in psychedelic country, pop noir, squalling blues rock and celestial folk, Whitehorse have pushed their musical identity into new realms and sounds for over a decade. As attested by five consecutive JUNO Award nominations in many different genre categories, Whitehorse do a lot of things, and do them well.

On their new record, Whitehorse venture deeper into classic country music touchstones than ever before, a move that is both a homecoming and an evolution of their sound. I’m Not Crying, You’re Crying is an immaculate collection of 70s country-inspired songs that showcase Whitehorse at their absolute best.

As a 30 year veteran of the entertainment industry, and two time CCMA Male Vocalist of the Year, Jason McCoy appears to be the king of reinvention.

Racking up multiple CCMA and CMA awards along with a Gold album and CMA Global Artist Award (Nashville), Jason remains in demand on the live touring circuit, and pulls double duty at morning radio for Pure Country 106. Fans can also tune in Saturday evenings for his Nationally Syndicated radio show, Nothin’ But the Nineties on the Bell Media Network. As creator and front man of The Road Hammers, the best selling band in Canadian Country Music history, Jason took on the Country Rock genre and guided the band to unprecedented success throughout Canada and the United States, picking up a platinum album, platinum single (MUD), 3 x CCMA Group of the Year, and a Juno along the way....but music is only part of the story....

Equally at home in front of the camera as host of Smashtown (CMT Canada/USA), two seasons of CMT’s Pet Heroes, and Jason McCoy Eats America, Jason has solidified his place in the fabric of the Country Music industry.

In 2020, Jason wrote and recorded ‘We Are One’, and initiative to raise funds for Musicians in Need during the pandemic. The song and video has raised thousands of dollars for the Unison Fund, enlisting artists from all around the world, including Canada, USA, France, Greece, Australia and China.

Continuing to write and record music, Jason prizes the time he spends with his wife and two children at their home farm, just two miles from the small town of Minesing where it all began.
