MODEL SHOWN: CIVIC TOURING HondaManitoba. com A5 SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 2014 NEWS LOCAL A BOUT 130 hardy Winnipeggers lined up in towels, trunks and T- shirts - some sporting colourful Halloween masks and capes - to take the 2014 Polar Plunge Saturday. Law enforcement agencies across North America organize the annual event to raise money for the Special Olympics but Winnipeg has to be one of the coldest provincial capitals in Canada to host it. The weather Saturday clocked in at - 16 C but it felt like - 24 with the wind chill. The best part? Cloudy skies gave way to the bright sun. Matt Kilgor, in black trunks, a T- shirt and a yellow cape, was like many of the 129 who dared to jump. He showed up with a crew of co- workers all dressed alike in their wacky outfits. And they joked a little nervously as they eyed the vat of freezing water outside the Indian and M�tis Friendship Centre on Robinson Street and the shivering survivors dripping with water who emerged from it. " They said to remember to breathe," Kilgor chuckled. Minutes later, it was his turn and Kilgor climbed a wooden ladder, stood for a second on the platform and jumped. Inside the vat, volunteers with the Canadian Amphibious Search Team, kept vigil in wet suits. Nobody needed reviving. The event saw 129 people line up for the 1 p. m. kick off at the Friendship Centre. Cars packed a three- square- block area and metal bleachers for spectators gave supporters a bird's- eye perch to view the spectacle in the parking lot off Robinson Street. Next to the plunge, the anticipation was probably the hardest part. Polar plungers lined up at an open door that faced the vat in the parking lot outside, able to survey the " before" and " after" for everyone ahead of them. Kilgor waited about 45 minutes for the 10- second plunge. When he emerged from the freezing water, he was shivering with cold and gasping for breath, unable to utter a single word. " It was very cold," Kilgor said when he could talk again, toasty warm after a breather in a green khaki army tent. The apr�s- plunge warming shack boasted a hot tub. The event primarily drew workers from law enforcement and service and specialty supply shops. The Friendship Centre was packed with related raffles and crowds, including relatives and friends. Organizer Steven Dredger, spokesman for Special Olympics Manitoba, called the event a success. The 2013 event raised $ 36,000. This year, before related raffles were tallied in, a sum of $ 30,000 had been counted up for the Special Olympics. This the second year for the event in Winnipeg, sponsored this winter by ATCO Sustainable Communities and Chief Peguis Construction Ltd. CP Construction general manager Glen Cochrane said he admired the grit it took. " You have to have a true heart for the cause to do something like this," Cochrane said. " We're just honoured to support a cause such as this." The charity, Law Enforcement Torch Run, organized the event held in Winnipeg and other cities yesterday. alexandra. paul@ freepress. mb. ca By Alexandra Paul Sunny day for icy plunge Intrepid souls brave elements, raise $ 30,000 for Special Olys ' They said to remember to breathe' - Matt Kilgor RUTH BONNEVILLE / WINNIPEG FREE PRESS Darren Anderson does a cannonball into a garbage bin filled with ice- cold water at the 2014 Polar Plunge.
