Typically, this polar plunge takes place at Alouette Lake, but a recent closure in Golden Ears Provincial Park has forced the event to relocate to Pitt Meadows instead.

Menzies Crossing, which was formerly known as Silver Bridge, is located where Harris Road intersects Alouette River.

The date and time still remain the same, with a 10 a.m. start time on Thursday, March 2.

The fundraiser is currently more than halfway to its $10,000 goal, with Team ACCW having fundraised the most money at slightly more than $2,000.
