It will take more than frigid cold to stop the Chippawa Polar Bear Dip

The Chippawa Polar Bear Dip is a go!

Forecasts are calling for temperatures plunging to -15 on Saturday, but it won't stop the Chippawa Public Docks Committee.

In a Facebook video committee member Troy Roberts recommends wearing your shoes into the water and strongly encourages pulling on a toque.

Grismby's New Years Day Polar Bear dip had to be cancelled due to extreme temperatures while the Crystal Beach dip originally slated for this coming Saturday is being rescheduled. No word yet on a new date.
