Stephen Andrew Lee, M.B.
Medal of Bravery
On February 10, 2009, Stephen Lee was injured when he tried to protect the attendant of an outdoor skating rink who was being attacked in Ottawa, Ontario. The man was being beaten and threatened with a knife after he had asked several intoxicated youths to leave the premises. The young perpetrators continued their attack on the severely injured victim, and on Mr. Lee, until more people arrived to stop the fight.
