The Oakville Beaver, Tuesday D e c e m b e r 24, 2002 - A7 Get ready to brave the chill of the lake Annual Polar Bear Dip setfor New Years day In Oakville, there's no better way to usher in the New Year than to run into Lake Ontario for a cool, refreshing and `courageous' polar bear dip. This New Year's Day spectacle, spearheaded by brothers Trent and Todd Courage, is a local tradition that has grown into Eastern Canada's largest Polar Bear Dip. More than 300 `polar bears' ran into the Lake at Coronation Park to usher in 2002 and raised about $20,000 for World Vision Canada. The money was used to help protect Afghani refugees from hunger and a bit ter cold winter. More than 250 participants are expected to run and jump into the lake for the 2003 18th annual Courage Brothers' World Vision Polar Bear Dip on Jan. 1 in front of an anticipated 4,000 spectators. The goal is to raise $25,000. The money will be used by World Vision Canada to provide safe, clean water in Nicaragua, Honduras and Tanzania. With a minimum $25 donation, par ticipants receive cotton T-shirts and cer tificates and for $50, a pewter dog tag with a polar bear dip design will be given. The `polar bear' with the highest amount in pledges wins two airline tick ets to Florida. Registration at Coronation Park runs from 1 :1 5 -1 :4 5 p.m. The `polar bears' enter the water promptly at 2 p.m. Participants should bring towels, blankets and a change of warm clothes, and spectators are also advised to dress warmly - and bring loonies and toonies for World Vision Canada. This event dates back to 1985 when five dippers jum ped into the lake from a dock at a Burlington residence. Because of its growth in popularity, it moved to Coronation Park in 1988 and became known as the Burloak Polar Bear Club. Since 1995, the event has raised more than $80,000 for World Vision Canada. Previously, the polar bear dip raised funds for various local charities. In 1997, the event became known as the Courage Brothers' World Vision Polar Bear Club.
