The Bentway’s Polar Bear Skate returns! Both a clothing drive and a wild way to close out the year, brave Torontonians are invited to strip down to their skivvies and skate the trail for a good cause. Click here to register for the Polar Bear Skate.

Donations of warm winter clothing will be collected onsite by New Circles Community Services and distributed to newcomer and refugee families experiencing winter in Toronto for the first time. Items in need include new and gently-worn winter coats and boots. For more information about clothing donations, click here.

Thank you to Beanfield Metroconnect for providing free hot beverages during the Polar Bear Skate to help keep you warm.
