250 people. One frozen river. One powerful cause. ❄️💙
On New Year’s Day, our community came together to do something uncomfortable for something that truly matters. We cut a hole in the ice, stepped into freezing water, and raised awareness and funds for the Ottawa Distress Centre, supporting mental health and crisis services in our city.
Cold exposure builds resilience — but no one should face life’s hardest moments alone. Thank you to every single person who showed up, took the plunge, volunteered, filmed, and supported this unforgettable day.
Thank you to the companies that generously provided coffee & prizes at a discounted/free rate:
Here’s to starting the year with courage, connection, and compassion. 🧊✨
