Kermodei Bear Swim a success

AN ESTIMATED 25 people jumped through a hole carved in
the ice of Lakelse Lake for a gaod cause last week.

The Fifth annual Kermodei Bear Swim, organized by the
Kinsmen, raised an estimated $3,000 for the Rick and Paul
King Foundation.

The thermometer read -8 degrees C that day, but the breeze and
the speed of swimmers coming out of the frigid waters suggested
it felt even colder,

“It was freezing up faster than we could keep the ice off the

water,’’ said one organizer.

It was a good start to °95 for the Kinsmen who get active in a
big way this month with the Kickoff of their annual Mothers
March,

Canvassing begins Jan, 15 and runs until the 31st in support of
the Kinsmen Rehabilitative Foundation.

Up to 150 canvassers will try to raise a goal of $13,000 this
year,

Ti gets started this Saturday at Petro Canada on-Lakelse, where
Kinsmen will be. manning the pumps and collecting two cents
