On July 19, 2015, off-duty RCMP Constable Evan Taylor rescued two boys from drowning after their canoe capsized in Waterton National Park, Alberta. Constable Taylor entered the frigid water and swam over 250 metres to grasp the first victim and tow him to shore. He then retrieved the second victim, who was moments from exhaustion, and brought him to safety.
