About the Event

Join us at SwimBowen 2026, an annual community event dedicated to supporting Bowen Islanders undergoing cancer treatment. This year’s volunteer day will take place on Saturday, July 11, from approximately 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM at Tunstall Bay Beach on Bowen Island.
Volunteers are needed for a variety of tasks that don't require your presence throughout the entire duration. Whether you have an hour or more to spare, every contribution is invaluable in ensuring this community event runs smoothly and supports those in need.
All proceeds from SwimBowen benefit the Cancer Care Fund, which provides essential assistance to Bowen Islanders during their active treatment journey. The SwimBowen Society, a registered not-for-profit organization (#S0068828), has been working tirelessly for years to make this event possible.
For more information and to sign up as a volunteer, visit SwimBowen's official event page. Your support makes all the difference in bringing hope and comfort to our community members during challenging times.
Thank you for considering volunteering with us at SwimBowen 2026. Together, we can make a significant impact on the lives of those affected by cancer.

About Bowen Island

Learn more about the host city, Bowen Island.

Bowen Island is a small island and a municipality at the entrance to Howe Sound, connected to Vancouver and the rest of the Lower Mainland by a short ferry ride from Horseshoe Bay in West Vancouver - additionally, private water taxis can be chartered but there are no regular/scheduled water taxi services available. The island has become a favourite tourist destination although amenities and activities are limited. Most activities involve wandering the shops or exploring the parks and natural areas.
