The City of Delta is inviting residents to take the plunge into the chilly waters of Boundary Bay to help kick off 2018.
The 38th annual Polar Bear Swim starts with registration at noon on New Year’s Day with the swim starting at 1 p.m.
The top three swimmers will be awarded a trophy and a prize. There will also be prizes for oldest swimmer and swimmer from furthest away.
Not planning on swimming? No worries. The event is packed with entertainment for the whole family. If you’re looking to warm up after your chilly dip, the Tsawwassen Lions Club will be serving hot chocolate and you can find yourself a polar bear to keep you warm while you take a few selfies. There will also be a raffle for items from the event sponsors with the grand prize of four tickets to a Vancouver Canucks game.
