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

It is scheduled from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sept. 17 at Apex Beach. ᓇᑭᓐᖔᖅᓯᒪᓂᖏᑦ↗

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.

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. ᓇᑭᓐᖔᖅᓯᒪᓂᖏᑦ↗

Date: Thursday, Sept. 17, 2026. Time: 11 a.m.–2 p.m. Location: Apex Beach, Iqaluit. Eligibility: ages 18 and older. The Council identifies Nunavut RCMP and community volunteers as collaborators supporting the first event. This is an announced event and registration notice, not a government program, funding decision or service expansion. ᓇᑭᓐᖔᖅᓯᒪᓂᖏᑦ↗
