Sonia Hafeez Yousaf
What makes this story so incredible was that Sonia was only ten years old when she received the award. She helped her mother after she was assaulted by an ex-business associate of hers. The girl escaped to the neighbor’s house and called the police. Luckily, they caught the suspect, and her mom survived as well.

Shirley Thiessen
Shirley got the award after she worked hard to develop the death notification course of the Calgary Police Service. In 2012, she found out about the death of her son Jordan. However, the grieving family had to suffer some more because the police did not deliver the news with care. She used her terrible experience to help out other people instead! Isn’t that the most admirable thing you have ever heard?
