It’s a busy weekend of events in Medicine Hat and area.

They’re jumping in freezing water for a good cause.
The Law Enforcement Torch Run is holding its annual Polar Plunge in support of Special Olympics Alberta.
They are able to participate by securing donations from friends, family members, co-workers, local businesses, and their community.
Organizers say it’s a great way for everyone—individuals, organizations, and businesses—to get involved in support of Special Olympics and show winter who’s boss.
A $10,000 fundraising goal has been reached as of Friday afternoon.
CHAT News’ own Jesse Gill will be taking the plunge live on CHAT TV — tune in here.
Organizer Const. Dave Allen spoke to anchor Dan Reynish on CHAT News at Noon about it on Thursday.
The plunges get underway at 5 p.m. on Friday at Mavericks Athletic Park.
