Yesterday and over the weekend, Fellows and friends of the RCGS took to their icy-cold lakes, rivers, streams, and oceanfronts to raise awareness and much-needed financial support for Canadian Geographic and the Explore Podcast. We are thankful to all the individuals and teams who braved the bracing waters of the North Saskatchewan River, Bow River, Lake Ontario, Meech Lake, Great Slave Lake and all three oceans in support of making Canada better known to Canadians and the world. And we are so thankful to everyone who donated to one of our plungers’ campaigns in support of thoughtful, independent journalism about our country. Your gift not only provided critical financial assistance to the Society, but it also helped inspire and motivate our plungers to get in the water, no matter how cold! There is still time to make a gift to the 2024 #RCGSPolarPlunge to recognize the spirited nature of the 2024 plungers and to support Canadian Geographic’s editorial work, which gives Canadians the tools to help reshape our understanding of geography, the natural world — and Canada. |

We look forward to sharing a wrap-up video of the 2024 plunge soon, but in the meantime, check out some of these great “Proof of Plunge” photos! |
