Randon Angus Joseyounen, M.B.
Wollaston Lake, Saskatchewan
Medal of Bravery

In the early morning hours of June 22, 2011, Randon Joseyounen rescued a man from a possible drowning in the icy waters of Wollaston Lake, near the Hatchet Lake First Nation, Saskatchewan. During a high school graduation party, the victim fell into the lake and panicked, as he could not swim. Witness to the scene, Mr. Joseyounen dove into the water to reach the terrified man who had drifted far from the shore. At risk of hypothermia and without any lifesaving device, Mr. Joseyounen pushed the victim back to shore, where a bystander helped them both out of the water.
