Here's to the heroes among us! The Medal of Bravery recognizes those who have risked injury, even death, to save the lives of others! From bystander interventions in drownings and fiery rescues to saving someone from an animal attack—these are some of the "acts of bravery in hazardous circumstances" recognized by Canada's Medal of Bravery throughout its 50-year history. Those who have been awarded this decoration may not consider themselves as heroes, but their selflessness is one of our great strengths, and worthy of one of Canada's highest honours.
