It's been garnering plenty of attention across the globe and Yorkton recently got in on the action in a big way.
On Thursday around 100 members of the local business community gathered to take part in the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge.
The Ice Bucket Challenge involves dumping a bucket of ice water on someone's head to promote awareness of the disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and encourage donations to research. The challenge dares nominated participants to be filmed having a bucket of ice water poured on their heads and challenging others to do the same.
On Thursday staff at Canadian Tire along with, Joe Beeverz, the Parkland Mall, City officials, members of the Yorkton Fire Department, EMS, RCMP, the Chamber and community gathered to get soaked and raise funds.
The event was a big success. If you would like to learn more or donate visit: http://als.ca/
