On August 3, 2003, Peter Stacey rescued three individuals from drowning at Okanagan Lake, British Columbia. Mr. Stacey jumped from his boat when he realized that a man and a woman were unable to swim back to their own boat which was being pushed away by metre-high waves. As he swam through the forceful surf toward the two victims, Mr. Stacey came upon an unconscious woman, floating under the surface. He immediately grabbed hold of her and, battling the choppy waters, made his way back to his drifting boat, where she was revived by others. Although exhausted from his efforts, Mr. Stacey returned for the other two victims who were frantically struggling to stay afloat and, one at a time, he towed them to his boat, where they received assistance.
