Medal of Bravery
On June 5, 2016, Angela Irvine and Cole Marshall rescued Dr. Irvine’s young sons who were in danger of drowning in the South Saskatchewan River, in Medicine Hat, Alberta. As the boys were carried off by the water, Dr. Irvine dived in and fought against the current until she was able to reach one of the boys, pulling him to shore. After her unsuccessful attempt to rescue the second, Mr. Marshall used a tree branch to pull the young victim to safety.
