. It's way more fun than bog snorkelling. Living in Toronto's balmier clime now.
I come to Calgary at least annually - so tell me more about the bow river snorkel! Is there anything formalized, or is it a cannonball run??
Hey anyone interested in Bow river snorkel this is the info.
Hi, Daniel, here is the info for the 7th Annual Bow River Snorkel in 2012:
