Polar Brrr Swim – January 1st 2016

Thanks to all involved in the 5^th annual Polar BRRR swim. It was very successful and could not have happened without the support of the swimmers, volunteers and the community. This year there were 39 registered swimmers and at least 3 others. The total raised for the Galiano Health Care Society was over $2000. We look forward to an even bigger event next year with prizes going to the “best costume” and “most money raised”.

There are many variations of passages of Lorem Ipsum available, but the majority have suffered alteration in some form, by injected humour, or randomised words which don’t look even slightly believable. If you are going to use a passage of Lorem Ipsum, you need to be sure there isn’t anything embarrassing hidden in the middle of text. All the Lorem Ipsum generators on the Internet tend to repeat predefined chunks as necessary, making this the first true generator on the Internet. It uses a dictionary of over 200 Latin words, combined with a handful of model sentence structures, to generate Lorem Ipsum which looks reasonable. The generated Lorem Ipsum is therefore always free from repetition, injected humour, or non-characteristic words etc.

If you witness someone collapse, or discover someone who is non-responsive, first call 911 for help and then ideally be able to send someone to locate the nearest defibrillator while you provide first aid and/or CPR to the unconscious patient. Check out the map for locations.
