The temperature dipped over the weekend, making for a chilly 2 or 5 km walk for participants in the Coldest Night of the Year event in downtown Strathroy Saturday. myFM News caught up with 37 Frank Youth Centre Volunteer Colleen Wiendels just before the walk began.
Thirty four teams had raised close to $75,000 of the $100,000 goal by event day, with money still coming in. The funds go to the downtown youth centre which started out as a drop in centre a few years ago, but now has crash beds for youth who have nowhere else to go in the cold.
