Hatters plunge into freezing water
MEDICINE HAT , AB — Hatters took the plunge Saturday to raise money for the 2017 Special Olympics that Medicine Hat is hosting this summer.
The polar plunge took place near the Family Leisure Centre where 80 people jumped into ice cold water.
Const. Josh Argue, with the Medicine Hat Police Department, said it took firefighters over an hour an a half to cut a hole the pond. “Which I think is Mother Nature’s way of saying ‘you shouldn’t be in me’,” he said.
