PARKING LOCATIONS

Polar Bear Plunge Parking: There will be limited parking available at One Mile Lake for the Polar Bear Plunge event participants only on Sunday, January 22. And please no parking on the shoulders of the highway. Note: The Polar Bear Plunge has been cancelled due to One Mile Lake closure.

Downtown Barn Parking: There is plenty of parking available downtown, with a parking lot just off of Portage Road, as well as at the Pemberton Community Centre.

POLAR BEAR PLUNGE TIPS - CANCELLED!

1. If you have a heart condition - just watch!
2. Children must stay with an adult while in the water.
3. Please leave your dog at home.
4. Do not drink - alcohol does not warm you up - it accelerates hypothermia.
5. Do not stay in the water longer than 15 minutes. Body heat is lost 25 times faster in water than in the air.
6. Keep your clothing on until plunge time.
7. After your plunge, visit the Innergex 'Warming Tent' on-site for free hot chocolate, and a Winterfest toque!

FOOT TRAFFIC

We recommend accessing One Mile Lake via the trail that leaves from beside the Old Highway's Yard / Community Garden or via the boardwalk off of Highway 99.

If you're going to enjoy the evening festivities on Friday and/or Saturday night, we suggest you bring a headlamp or two for your walks to and from the Downtown Barn and/or One Mile Lake.

SHUTTLE INFORMATION

As the majority of the activities and events will be taking place at the Downtown Barn, we will not be providing shuttles this year.

However, if the ice and weather are in good form, and we move Winterfest to One Mile Lake, we will provide shuttle service to and from the lake on Saturday afternoon/evening.
