New Year's Community Celebration, Food Drive and Cold Plunge!
2026-01-01 13:00 - 17:00 | Sorrento Centre, 1159 Passchendaele Rd, Sorrento, Canada
Join us at the Sorrento Retreat and Conference Centre’s private lakefront property for a heartwarming New Year’s Community Celebration that embodies inclusivity and connection.

As we gather around a peaceful, welcoming lakeside campfire, we invite you to dive into the festivities-whether you choose to take the exhilarating cold plunge into the lake or to enjoy the cozy atmosphere with friends and family, new and old.

We are also hosting a food drive to support local people in need; please bring a donation to help replenish the Sorrento Food Bank and make a difference in our community. Click here to see what the Sorrento Food Bank needs most: https://www.sorrentofoodbank.ca/food-bank-list-of-needs/

Embrace the transformative journey of welcoming the New Year together, surrounded by the warmth of the campfire and the delightful treats of marshmallows and hot chocolate. Engage in our optional ‘out with the old, in the new’ activity, practice kindness, and enjoy the camaraderie and joy that celebration with community brings.

Let us practice kindness and create lasting memories together as we step into 2026 with hope and a sense of belonging.

*All activities are optional, and the cold plunge is weather-dependent. If the lake freezes over, we will be unable to take the plunge. We will provide an update as to the condition of the lake closer to the event date.

Visit our website for more details, including what the Centre will provide and suggestions on what to bring.
