Two Cape Bretoners have been honoured for heroism.
The late Michelle Curtis of Lingan was awarded the medal of bravery by Governor General David Johnston yesterday. Curtis died while saving a group of children caught in a riptide off Dunvegan. Her husband Karl accepted her posthumous award.
Liam Bernard was awarded the Star of Courage for his part in saving two people from a burning camper van after a crash near Melford last September that killed the driver of the other vehicle.
