Medal of Bravery

On July 27, 2010, Lorne and Dianne Matsalla and Phillip and Geraldine Shewchuk rescued a farmer who had been shot at by an armed man in Rama, Saskatchewan. The victim was working in a field when the assailant suddenly fired his rifle at him. Alerted to the situation, the Matsallas and the Shewchuks quickly drove out to the victim's location. Unaware of the shooter's whereabouts and at risk of being shot themselves, they tracked down the victim, helped him into one of the vehicles and drove him to safety.
