What's Good in Brockville? A chilly dip for a great cause on New Year's Day

Bring towels, warm clothing, and enjoy chili and hot chocolate afterward

Brockville kicks off 2026 with the 21st Annual Polar Bear Dip at Centeen Park on January 1 at noon.

Participants raise funds for Sandy Pines Wildlife Centre, which rescues local wildlife, says organizer Helen Cooper.

Cooper says it's a great way to kick off the new year.

Registration is $10 at Dive Brockville Adventure Centre at 11 a.m. Bring towels, warm clothing, and enjoy chili and hot chocolate afterward.
