D Courage brothers put out the call for the Dip Park in Oakville. The fun starts at 12:30 p.m. with entertainment and activities for all ages. The dip itself takes place at 2 p.m. The annual classic is a chance for dippers to don crazy costumes, silly wigs and suits and paint their bodies all for charity. How do you prepare for the challenge? What do you do to stay warm? How do you stay safe? Tweet your tips and pics with #PolarBearDip. Remember to keep it simple, safe and fun.

This year's Courage Polar Bear Dip will once again see humanity dare to dive into the punishing waters of Lake Ontario on Jan. 1, 2014. Registration is now open with a new twist. Dippers can sign up, pay their registration fee and fundraise all online at www.polarbeardip.ca. You can create your own fundraising page and even set up a team and invite your family and friends to join you. "We are expecting an increase in dippers now that registration is online. We can reduce lineups and wait times, and make things easier for everyone on Dip Day," said Cheryl Singleton, one of the dip organizers. Last year more than 700 dippers braved the icy waters of Lake Ontario and thousands more came to watch at Oakville's Coronation Park. The event is organized by Oakville's own Trent and Todd Courage who started the fundraiser on a dare from their mother to "shake-off the cobwebs after an intensely celebrated New Year's Eve." "In 2013, we had another big success," said Trent Courage. "We raised $120,000 which pushed us past our goal of $1 million in total funds raised for World Vision water projects Shhhh... around the globe." The Courage Polar Bear Dip is now in its 29th year and has evolved into Canada's largest charitable polar bear dip with proceeds this year going to World Vision's water projects in Rwanda. "So far, with the support of thousands of Dippers, we have brought clean water to 6,000 people in water projects World Vision operates," said Todd Courage.
