Such program is a coalition of over 50 interfaith communities in York Region. Shelters are operated by 12 host communities, one of which is at the Toronto Christian Community Church in south Markham (100 Acadia Avenue).

Party tickets are on sale starting October 21 for 3 weeks. Price for members is $10 (includes pizza & refreshments). Members may sign up to purchase tickets with the monitors at the respective classes. Ticket price for non-members is $15, on sale on November 11, if available.
Part of the proceeds will be donated to OOTC.
