Hornby Island Polar Bear Swim
New Years Day
HORNBY ISLAND FIRE/RESCUE will be at Grassy Point beach
with trucks, hot dogs, chai and a big bonfire in anticipation of the swimmers hitting the water at noon sharp.
This is a great family event with everyone from 6 years old to those in their 80s swimming or just watching the spectacle.
Pro tips:
1) Bring a mug for the hot chai to avoid a single-use cup.
2) Wear water shoes because the pebbles can be hard on your feet.
Show up early, the plunge is at noon on the nose.
