Glacial Plunge Health Benefits
While an icy swim may not be everyone’s idea of fun, the new Glacial Plunge experience has become a guest favourite for the many health benefits.
This is a complex issue for many reasons, but I was so happy to hear the news of this decision. I’m supportive of the direction Clayoquot is taking and applaud them for making conservation the priority.
Ahousaht First Nations Chief, Lewis GeorgeSince 2001, the lodge has worked with Canadian Department of Fisheries and Oceans, and the local First Nation community of Ahousaht, to mitigate and repair human-caused environmental damage and habitat depletion in Bedwell Sound. Substantial work has been undertaken to create new salmon spawning channels and restore native stocks to river systems, with the help of organizations including the Tofino Salmon Enhancement Society and Clayoquot Biosphere Trust.
Ahousaht First Nations Chief Lewis George believes this is an important and positive step. “This is a complex issue for many reasons, but I was so happy to hear the news of this decision from Bradley and Antonella. I’m supportive of the direction Clayoquot is taking and applaud them for making conservation the priority. This is a powerful statement in sustainability.”
For the 2020 season and beyond, salmon fishing excursions will simply not be offered. Fly fishing options, heli-fishing adventures, and certain saltwater experiences utilizing sustainable fishing practices will still be available.
