Some extra money for the Special Olympics.

A cheque for $46,000 has been presented to the organization, money raised during the fifth annual Windsor-Essex Polar Plunge at St. Clair College.

Back on February 15, 2019, over 160 people including members of several area police services and corrections officers took the plunge into the frigid water.

In the past four years, the event has raised more than $185,000 with more than 750 participants taking the plunge.
