Okanagan Lake Dip Challenge

We’ve officially kicked off week II of the Okanagan Lake Dip Challenge!

My daughter (Tabitha), sister (Miranda) and I began our 12 week challenge on Thanksgiving Day 2014. Our challenge is to take a dip in the lake, once a week, until the New Year 2015.

We’re Okanagan Lake Dipping for two reasons: 

1. Raise awareness of how valuable Canadian water is to us. We want our fellow Canadians to write their government leaders to make sure Canadian waters remain protected from human pollution and greed. 50% of the oxygen we breath comes from the ocean yet only 3% of Canadian Pacific waters are protected. Furthermore, Canadian freshwater lakes are at risk of turning into mine tailing dumping grounds. Every Canadian citizen has a voice. Let  the Canadian government hear our voices on issues regarding our water. Our quest requires no money, simply action.

2. A personal challenge to keep life edgy and interesting.

View our 2nd week (October 20th) completed challenge below. We celebrate the fact that the water is warmer each time we dunk than it will be on the next week’s dunk. Miranda could’t dip with us on the 20th, she dipped on the 19th. Though, from here on out we plan to dip/dunk at the same time.
