Constable Robert Conant, M.B.
Stoney Creek, Ontario
Medal of Bravery

On April 18, 2015, Constable Robert Conant, of the Ontario Provincial Police, rescued a man stranded on an embankment in Bronte Creek Provincial Park, in Oakville, Ontario. The victim had fallen approximately 20 metres off a cliff, and was clinging to a branch that prevented him from plummeting further into a gorge. Constable Conant tied a rope to his waist and, as colleagues held on, lowered himself down the crumbling rocks to secure the victim. Local firefighters arrived shortly after and brought both of them to safety.
