Sonia Hafeez Yousaf
Even though she was only ten years old, Sonia Hafeez Yousaf was given the award of well. She had been home when her mom’s old business associate dropped by the house. This person spoke to her mother before viciously assaulting the poor woman! It was a good thing that Sonia could get out and ask the neighbor for help! This was how the police were informed of what was going on. The cops got there and arrested the attacker. Even though the mom was brought to the hospital, she eventually recovered.

Shirley Thiessen
Another person who received the award is Shirley Thiessen. She was awarded for working on the death notification course of the Calgary Police Service. Her work has allowed the local police officers to learn how to deliver devastating news to the loved ones of victims. In 2012, she and her husband found out that Jordan, their son, died in a workplace accident. The local police had been the one to let them know about the bad news, but the cop did such a bad job of it that it made the situation even worse.
