Kelsey Jessica Roy, M.B.
Medal of Bravery
On March 13, 2007, eight-year-old Kelsey Roy saved her mother from a possible drowning, in Carleton Place, Ontario. During an outing along Mississippi Lake, Kelsey's mother fell through the ice while attempting to rescue their dog. Her water-filled boots weighed her down, and kept her from crawling back out onto the ice. Without any concern for her own safety, Kelsey crawled onto the thin ice to reach her distraught mother. Kelsey grabbed her until her mom was able to pull herself up and move onto safer ice.
