Sonia Hafeez Yousaf
Sonia was only 10 years old when she got the award! She helped her mother, who was assaulted by a former business associate of hers. Sonia managed to escape and ask the neighbor for help. They called the police, who managed to arrest the assailant. It is nice to hear that her mother eventually got better.

Shirley Thiessen got the ward for working on the death notification course. She taught the police officers how to give people terrible news. In 2012, she and her husband learned that their child Jordan died in a workplace accident. Apparently, the police delivered the news so poorly that it made things worse for them. Shirley decided to do something about it and educate everyone about this important task.
