Medal of Bravery

On October 16, 2011, brothers Larry Angasuk Jr. and Teddy Omilgoituk, along with RCMP constables Andrew Aucoin and Todd Glemser, braved intense heat, smoke and flames to rescue two children from a burning house, in Inuvik, Northwest Territories. Larry was able to bring one of the children to safety, but Teddy, trying to reach his little sister in an upstairs bedroom, became overwhelmed by the smoke and had to rush outside. Constables Aucoin and Glemser ran in and managed to bring out the child who, sadly, did not survive.
