Upcoming Event – The 66th Annual Polar Bear Swim!

Get ready to dive into one of Nanaimo’s favourite holiday traditions – the 66th Annual Polar Bear Swim! Join us on December 26th at Departure Bay Beach (Kin Hut) for an afternoon of community fun and chilly courage. Registration opens at 11:00 AM, with the big plunge happening right at 1:00 PM.

This year, we’ll also be collecting donations for the local food bank, so if you’re able, please bring along a non-perishable item to support families in our community. To keep everyone warm and well-fed, Grouchy Goat Coffee and Jack’s Grilled Cheese will be on site serving up delicious treats.

Whether you plan to swim or cheer from the shore, we’d love to see you there
