What better way to enjoy a grey, cloudy day in February than jumping into a half-frozen lake?
A whole host of brave souls lined up on the lakeside in Sicamous on Saturday, Feb. 16 to take the plunge and hop into the frigid waters of Shuswap Lake during the Sicamous Winter Carnival.

The polar bear swim was just one of many events hosted throughout the day in Sicamous, including snowmobiling for kids, a winter triathlon, family curling, snow golf, toboggan races and more. While it might have been a cold and, at times, snowy day, it didn’t stop families from flocking to Sicamous to warm themselves with winter cheer and fun outdoor events.
