In a display of community spirit, local RCMP officers took on the chilling challenge of diving into icy waters to raise money and awareness for Special Olympics athletes in BC. Numerous members of the Chilliwack RCMP, along with other local supporters dove into Cultus Lake on Tuesday February 27th with temperatures close to zero degrees Celsius.

This year marked the second time the Chilliwack RCMP participated in this event. Fundraising is still underway for the annual Polar Plunge benefitting Special Olympics BC. Donations can be made online and will help support sport, youth, and health programs for athletes with intellectual disabilities.

The Chilliwack RCMP wishes to thank the Cultus Lake Park Board for their support in this event.
