Ring in the New Year with an exciting challenge and a heartwarming cause!

On January 1, 2026 at noon sharp, brave souls will plunge into the icy waters for our annual Polar Brrr Swim, an event dedicated to making a difference in our community.

This year, your participation and donations will support vital programs at the Galiano Health Care Centre, including:

• Community Health and Wellness
• Volunteer Services (including volunteer drivers)
• Mental Health and Substance Use Support
• Transitions in Dying and Grieving
• Family Development
• Child and Youth Mental Health

Your generosity helps us provide essential services that enhance the well-being and resilience of our community members. Whether you’re swimming or cheering on the participants, your support is invaluable.

Whether you are a visitor, a full-time resident or a part-time resident emergencies happen.

With your support we’ll be able to better address urgent health care needs in the community. Make a Donation, Join a Team,  Create your own Team, Set a Target, and engage ALL YOUR FRIENDS in this cool refreshing event.

You do not need to swim!  Time for a quick dip or take the plunge!

Your donation makes a difference!
