Medal of Bravery
On November 28, 2008, Colleen Taylor risked
her life to rescue a woman from a possible drowning, in Jiulia Lake, in
Carp, Ontario. The woman had been walking her dog when it ran out to
chase a goose and fell into the freezing water, several metres from
shore. The woman tried to rescue her dog, but she, too, broke through
the ice. Ms. Taylor was driving by when she saw the woman struggling to
get out of the water. Moving carefully across the thin ice until she was
only a few metres from the victim, Ms. Taylor threw one end of a dog
leash to the woman, who grabbed on tightly. Ms. Taylor got down on her
stomach and, with great determination, pulled the victim out and brought
her to shore.
