B.C. Witches Take to the Waters of Semiahmoo Bay
About 50 paddlers in witch costumes and decorated boards took part in the annual event, which also raised donations for a local food bank.
Around 50 individuals gathered at the Bayview Park boat ramp on Sunday, Oct. 4, for the annual Witch Rock Paddle, traveling toward the White Rock Pier in costume.
This annual event offers local paddleboarders a chance to celebrate the Halloween season together, welcoming participants of different ages and experience levels to join the festivities.
Thick fog provided a spooky backdrop as participants in black clothing and pointed hats moved through the mist, while some paddlers decorated their boards with spooky additions.
Along the waterfront, spectators paused to watch and capture photos as the group passed. Organizers encouraged participants to bring donations for the food bank during this year's event.
Participants ranged from children to seniors, with some bringing their dogs along as laughter and witch cackles echoed across the water toward the pier.
