ABOUT POLAR PLUNGES
Polar plunges are invigorating events where participants immerse themselves in freezing cold water, often during the winter months or in icy bodies of water. These plunges are known for their adrenaline rush and the challenge they pose due to the cold. Many believe that polar plunges have health benefits, such as boosting circulation, reducing inflammation, and increasing endorphin levels, resulting in a natural high. Despite the cold, plunges foster a sense of community and accomplishment for those brave enough to take the plunge.

ARC Restaurant offers a true taste of the Pacific Northwest, where the vibrant flavors of the region are showcased in every dish. Located at Fairmont Waterfront, ARC pairs an approachable, upscale dining experience with panoramic views of Vancouver’s inner harbour and the Coastal Mountains. The menu celebrates local, seasonal ingredients — many harvested from the hotel’s own rooftop garden and apiary — and is crafted with a Province to Plate philosophy. From shareable plates to signature cocktails and an award-winning brunch, ARC is a social dining destination where the best of the West Coast comes together in a relaxed yet refined atmosphere.
