The Grey Bruce OPP will host a "Polar Plunge in Support of Special Olympics Ontario."
On February 23 at 9:30 a.m., individuals and community supporters from all over Grey and Bruce counties will jump into the ice-cold waters of the Fire Department's porta-tank to support Special Olympics.
The event will take place at the Shallow Lake Community Centre at 585 Princess Street in Georgian Bluffs. It will be held in partnership with the Municipality of Georgian Bluffs, Intertownship Fire Department, Grey County Paramedic Services, and the Owen Sound Special Olympics.
If you wish to get involved by registering yourself or a team to take the plunge, please contact Grey Bruce OPP Constable Krista Linthorne or register at www.polarplunge.ca. The Polar Plunge welcomes all individuals, organizations or businesses with a little courage and a warm heart to get cold for a worthy cause. All funds raised will support programming and events for over 26,000 athletes across the province. After the plunge, people can remain at the arena to enjoy lunch at the snack bar while watching a friendly hockey game between the Grey Bruce OPP and the Intertownship Fire Department. Fans are asked to bring a donation in support of Special Olympics.
