Langley Township New Years Day 2020 – Skating, Polar Bear Plunge

Langley Township – Start the new year with a splash, take to the ice, or explore a collection of historical curios through programs and events presented by the Township of Langley.

Brave souls who want to dive in to 2020 by enduring the elements are invited to take part in the annual Polar Bear Plunge. The chilly event returns New Year’s Day to the Otter Co-op Outdoor Experience at the Aldergrove Credit Union Community Centre (ACUCC), and guests are encouraged to take a wintry dip in the outdoor pool to earn bragging rights and check off their bucket lists. The Plunge is free and will be held at the ACUCC, 27032 Fraser Highway, at noon on Wednesday, January 1. To register, visit tol.ca/events. The first 150 people to sign up will receive a 2020 Polar Bear Plunge crest.

The new year is a great time to test out the skates or hockey stick that were found under the Christmas tree. Join the New Year’s Eve Family Hockey event on Tuesday, December 31 at ACUCC from 12:00 to 2:00pm, or the Winter Classic Family Hockey Game, January 1 at ACUCC from 12:00 to 3:00pm.
