Polar Bear Skate
Are you bold enough to face the cold? The Bentway’s wildest winter tradition returns!
On December 31, brave skaters are invited to strip down to their skivvies and skate the trail for a good cause. Our annual Polar Bear Skate is both a clothing drive and a bold way to close out 2023 - you won’t want to miss this New Years’ Eve tradition!
Polar Bear Skate is free to attend – just bring your skates and you’re good to go. Skate rentals are also available onsite. Participants will receive a complimentary Bentway toque and hot chocolate. Not up for the chill? You can still come cheer on participants and contribute to the clothing drive! Donations of warm winter clothing will be collected onsite by New Circles Community Services and distributed to local individuals and families who are living on a limited income.
Named one of the top things to do in the GTA this December, it’s a unique experience not to miss! Hop Valley Brewing Co. will be on-site with drink samples for folks 19+ too!
