Polar Bear Plunge a Success

The Third Annual Polar Bear Plunge took place yesterday at Prince Arthur's Landing. Lots of people came out to watch brave participants jump or run into the freezing cold waters. The event, hosted by the Law Enforcement Torch Run, raised funds for Ontario Special Olympics. Event organizer and corrections officer, Warren Giertuga, was the first one in the water. Army, navy, firefighters, police, and corrections workers all helped out with the event, making sure that participants were able to get dry and warm as fast as possible out of the water. Giertuga is happy with the turnout and already looks forward to next year's event.
