The Polar Plunge in Support of Special Olympics Ontario will be held February 23, 2024, at 9:30 a.m. at the Shallow Lake Community Centre at 585 Princess Street in Georgian Bluffs.

Participants will jump into the ice-cold waters of the Fire Departments portable tank to support Special Olympics. This event is hosted in partnership with the Municipality of Georgian Bluffs, Intertownship Fire Department, Grey County Paramedic Services and the Owen Sound Special Olympics.

The Polar Plunge is the largest fundraiser hosted by the Law Enforcement Torch Run. The torch run has raised more than $74 million in Canada since its inception.
