I’ve got friends in the north near Kirkland Lake, Ontario and they do a similar annual fundraiser with a Volkswagon Beetle - they’ve been doing it for years with the same car. I think it’s for fundraising for their local fire department.

Kenogami & District Volunteer Fire Brigade - Herbie Car Fundraiser

The car is cleaned up and cleared for environmental pollutants and then fished out every spring and repeated again the next winter. I always thought it was funny seeing that old yellow car on the ice.

That’s a nice lake too.
