TORONTO | The presence of ice at the beach Sunnyside of Toronto will have been due to the holding of the event Polar Bear Dip, which is used to raise funds to support charities in the canadian metropolis.

Each year since 2005, brave citizens throw themselves in the cold waters of lake Ontario in order to gather as. The ice generated by the cold are such that it is not possible to jump in the water!

More than 600 people were registered this year. They had to throw water on the stroke of 12 noon, on the 1st of January.

The organizers are juggling with the idea of postponing the conduct of the business of funding later this winter when the conditions allow.

In 13 years, over $ 400,000 that were raised by the participants, which, like polar bears, must not be afraid of cold water!
