In the Kawartha Lakes region of Southeastern Ontario is where you'll find the beautiful small town of Lindsay.

This town is just 45 minutes away from Peterborough and it's a great place to visit if you're looking to explore a typical historic Ontario town.

There really isn't that much to do in Lindsay, especially for tourists.

Apart from exploring the beautiful old town area and admiring all of the architecture there's also an old burnt down mill at the edge of town. This is the most popular landmark in the town and a fun place to check out.

Just like with many other small towns in this area, people from Lindsay claim that it's one of the most beautiful towns in Ontario.

If you're planning a visit to Lindsay I recommend parking on the main street and simply walking around to see what you can find on your own.

During the summer the town can get quite busy with all of the local cottage-goers. During the winter it’s a lot quieter and can look beautiful in the snow.

2016 Pre-Dip with +jennifer valentyne 
What You Should Know about the #PolarBearDip  
There are risks associated with going into Lake Ontario on January 1. The temperature of the water and the surrounding environment may be extremely cold and Lake Ontario is polluted. You should consult your physician prior to engaging in this event. Individuals who are pregnant, or have poor cardiac functioning, or suffer from a seizure disorder should not participate.
How To Participate
1. Register and create your online fundraising page
If you choose not to pay the $25 registration fee online during your fundraising page setup, you will need to bring $30 cash or a cheque (made out to World Vision Canada) to the park on January 1st.
If you would prefer to register and fundraise offline, please complete your registration form before heading to the park. Forms are available at the registration desk on January 1st but the process is much quicker if you fill it out in advance.
2. Ask friends and family to support your dip with donations (minimum $20 donation to receive a tax receipt). Every $100 in collected donations will get you 1 ballot for our prize draws, plus the individual who raises the most money will win a grand prize. The more you raise, the more chances you have to win prizes courtesy of Shoppers Drug Mart at Third Line & Dundas in Oakville.
3. Grab a friend to be your spotter and arrive at Coronation Park in Oakville by 1pm to ensure you have time to find parking and check in at the registration desk. There is limited parking at Coronation Park so please consider taking the free Stock Transportation shuttle bus leaving from South Oakville Centre (formerly Hopedale Mall) 1515 Rebecca St. in Oakville. Please park near The Beer Store
4. Visit the registration table to check in and if you haven't already done so, pay your $30 registration fee (cash or cheque made out to World Vision Canada | Credit card and debit not available). You will submit your waiver form along with any funds raised and you will receive your dipper wristband and Swag Bag. If you would like to skip the registration lineup on January 1st you can pre-regsiter by visiting our office at 2380 Speers Road in Oakville (Dates TBD)
Last years swag bag included an Official Polar Bear Dip t-shirt, orange spotter wristband and dippers certificate. Dippers also received items from our supporters.
5. If you are taking part in the costume contest, make your way to the stage by 1:00pm to register yourself or your team. Or email info@polarbeardip.ca ahead of time with your name and costume entry and category (adult, youth or team)
6. Don't rush to line-up by the beach. Take time to enjoy the live music and costume contest before making your way to the beach. While the first wave will take the pluge at 2pm sharp, we have over 700 participants so there will be multiple waves of dippers.
Bring an old blanket or towel to put down on the beach so you can sit and change before the dip.
Do not strip down to your swim suit until it's time for the dip.
Make sure to wear an old pair of shoes or aqua socks into the water to prevent cuts from the rocks and to stop your feet from sticking to any snow or ice on the shore.
If you wear glasses, make sure to secure them with an athletic strap.
Do not stay in the water longer than three crawl strokes. Body heat is lost 25 times faster in water than in air.
Make sure you know where your spotter is before you enter the water. This friend will be waiting for you on the shore with a towel, fresh clothing and dry shoes.
After the dip, head over to the mens or womens heated change tents and get changed in comfort.
