CHARGING INTO 2023 – A large crowd participated in the 10th Annual Polar Bear Dip in support of the Canadian Mental Health Association which was held at Chapels Cove Beach in Harbour Main on January 1. As of Wednesday, January 4, just over $9,000 of the $10,000 the organizers are hoping to raise had been pledged.
