about the plunge
This is the 31st year of the Perth Polar Bear Plunge, one of the greatest and safest polar bear plunges in Canada. It’s held at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 244, Perth, by the Tay River on New Year’s Day. Each year, a different community group is chosen as the recipient, and their volunteers work tirelessly to ensure a great event. To date, over $415,000 has been raised.
The man who has been with it from the start, and keeps it going, is Dave Lavery. Thank you, Dave!
