The Ontario Provincial Police is hosting an annual award ceremony in Orillia on Thursday, May 26, 2022, for Central Region employees and community members who are being recognized for a variety of acts and achievements.
The recipients include members of the public who jumped into the Muskoka River and risked their lives to rescue a swimmer in distress on August 24, 2020, in Bracebridge. One of the recipients lost his life during the rescue attempt. His daughter will be accepting his Citation for Bravery on his behalf.
