In June , Vancouver Coun . Lisa Dominato introduced a motion to relax the municipality’s bylaws to allow, and regulate, outdoor cold plunge and sauna venues.

Gatherwell in Mount Pleasant is one of several outdoor sauna/plunge locations that have popped up recently in Metro Vancouver .

Sauna exposure has been shown to promote a significant release of dopamine, causing euphoria, improved mood, higher energy, and a boost to the immune system.

Daniel La France , an architect, has designed his own portable cold plunge platform.

La France discovered cold plunges during the pandemic lockdowns when he was struggling mentally.

The practice brought him challenge, joy, relief and connection, says La France .

He is excited the trend is expanding and becoming more inclusive and accessible.
