Courage Polar Bear Dip

THANK-YOU!

Thank-you to everyone who raised funds for the 2018 Courage Polar Bear Dip.
Cancelling the event was a very difficult decision and we appreciate the support we received from so many of you after the announcement was made.

Our event is a family friendly event and always takes serious considerations and planning to make this a safe event.

Unfortunately there was significant ice formation and rock movement overnight under the waters surface which made the ground unstable. With the size of the event with dippers numbering in the hundreds, this combination made it unsafe to enter and exit the water without serious concern over injury.

On a positive note, the 2018 event has raised over $108,000 so far and funds continue to flow in for clean water projects in Mali, Western Africa through World Vision Canada.
