A total of 19 jumpers braved frigid temperatures to participate in the Voyageur Lions Club of Fort Frances’ annual “Polar Plunge” yesterday on Sand Bay near La Place Rendez-Vous. The event, which sees participants raise pledges for charities and then split the proceeds with the club, brought in around $8,000 this year. The top group was the Emo and District Lions Club, which raised more than $4,300, while the host Voyageur Lions brought in about $1,200.
