The Bentway Polar Bear Skate

Sunday, December 28, 2025 @ 12:00 pm - 2:00 pm

The Bentway’s boldest winter ritual returns on December 28 with the cheeky Polar Bear Skate! Brave Torontonians are invited to strip down to their skivvies and take a fearless lap around trail to bid farewell to 2025.

Round up your most fearless frost-weather friends and close out the year with a cheeky spin around the skate trail! Please register in advance as space is limited.

12:00pm Registration Opens
All participants must sign a waiver before taking part in the Polar Bear Skate. Participants under 18 must be accompanied by a legal guardian. Waivers will be at the yellow check-in tent.

1:00pm Polar Bear Skate starts!
This event lasts 5-10 minutes, so make sure you arrive early to not miss the main event!

Donations of new or gently used shoes will be collected onsite by New Circles Community Services and distributed to local individuals and families who are living on a limited income. Specifically, winter shoes are in high demand. Help us help neighbours in need this holiday season.

Not up for the chill? You can still come cheer on participants and contribute to the clothing drive. This is a unique experience not to miss!
