What happened
The Iqaluit-based Embrace Life Council has posted details and a registration form for the 2026 Embrace Life Polar Dip.

Why it matters
This is a time-sensitive, locally available wellness event. Residents who want to take part have a stated online-registration deadline, and the age limit means the notice is most immediately useful to adults considering participation.
What happens next
Online registration is open until Sept. 13 at 11:59 p.m. Embrace Life Council says people who register after that deadline must wait until the event to complete forms in person. The event itself is scheduled for Sept. 17. Source↗
Important details
Date: Thursday, Sept. 17, 2026. Time: 11 a.m.–2 p.m. Location: Apex Beach, Iqaluit. Eligibility: ages 18 and older.
