Corporal Scott Joseph Young, M.B.
Medal of Bravery

On June 17, 2010, RCMP Corporal Scott Young rescued a suicidal woman from the Slave River, in Fort Smith, Northwest Territories. He swam out several hundreds of metres in the frigid, fast-moving river to reach the victim. Despite her protests, he was able to pull her to safety.
