In a show of unity and commitment to Special Olympics Ontario, three local police leaders took part in an icy plunge on Wednesday, February 5, 2025.
Brant County OPP Inspector Andrea Quenneville, Brantford Chief of Police Chief Jason Saunders and Six Nations Chief of Police Darren Montour, braved ice-cold water and temperatures as part of a Pre-Plunge event, building momentum towards the official Polar Plunge at the Wayne Gretzky Centre on Thursday, March 6, 2025.
“This is more than just a cold-water challenge-it’s about supporting athletes who inspire us with their dedication and determination,” said Inspector Andrea Quenneville. “We are proud to take the plunge and show our support for the Special Olympics movement.”
The Polar Plunge is the main fundraising event for the 2025 Special Olympics Ontario Summer Games, which will bring together athletes from across the province to compete at the highest level and it is set to take place in Brantford, County of Brant, and Six Nations of the Grand River.
This year, the goal is to raise $50,000 to support these incredible athletes.
