In Canada, there is also a long-standing tradition with a history of over a hundred years, which is the "Polar Bear Swim" event. Its brilliance lies in the enthusiastic participation of the public and the diverse costumes of the participants. It is not only a mass sports activity but has also evolved into a New Year's party that emphasizes participation and wild revelry. The most grand and well-attended winter swim is the one held at English Bay in downtown Vancouver.

The 2015 Vancouver Polar Bear Swim marked its 95th anniversary. The event was initiated by the Vancouver Polar Bear Swim Club. The first event was held in 1920: Peter Pantages organized the first New Year's Day winter swim at English Bay in Vancouver, with only 10 people participating at the time. This New Year's celebration tradition has continued to this day. This year, thousands of people will participate, and it will attract tens of thousands of spectators.

At 2:30 PM, swimmers dressed in various costumes, singing cheerful songs, and wishing each other "Happy New Year," lined up toward the beach. At the host's signal, the crowd of tens of thousands erupted; people cheered and rushed toward the beach, diving into the icy, bone-chilling seawater together and swimming forward with all their might. The entire beach was filled with a joyful festive atmosphere. It is reported that the event also raises food for the Greater Vancouver Food Bank. On this first day of the New Year, people fully enjoy the fun of winter swimming while also contributing their love to help those in need. This is how Vancouver, Canada, celebrates New Year's Day.
