Medal of Bravery
On May 14, 2010, Pascal Bergeron, Jules Groulx-Swennen and Raphaëlle Jetté rescued four friends from a possible drowning, in Costa Rica. During a senior high school trip, some of the students were caught in the undertow of the Caribbean Sea. Ms. Jetté and Messrs. Bergeron and Groulx-Swennen ran in and fought against the strong current to bring the four panicked girls closer to shore. Others then helped pull the victims to safety on the beach.
