ABW says the decision to reschedule was made to ensure the safety and comfort of all participants.

“As we enjoy the comfort of our warm homes, let us take a moment to reflect on those less fortunate who are homeless in our community and living on the streets in our freezing Alberta weather,” organizers said in a statement.
