Constable James Alan Moir, M.B.
Medal of Bravery

On February 3, 2011, RCMP Constable James Moir was severely injured when he saved a young girl from being hit by a truck near Yale, British Columbia. Following a period of freezing rain, Constable Moir was on the scene where several cars had skidded into the ditch. Suddenly, a passing truck also lost control on the slippery road and hurtled towards the girl, who was standing nearby. The constable quickly pushed her out of harm's way before he was hit by the truck and then pinned between two vehicles. Luckily, bystanders were able to pull the trucks apart to free the injured constable.
