Town Mayor Lisa Post shared an incredible story about a local youth that acted heroically after a shocking accident in Orangeville.
Via Facebook, the message read:
Last night at our Council Meeting, it was my distinct pleasure to present Kaydance Stokes with a certificate of recognition for exemplifying the best of our community values: empathy, courage, and a readiness to help others.
On the May Long Weekend, Kaydance was witness to an incident where a young boy was struck by a vehicle. Kaydance dialed 911, followed the operators instructions meticulously, provided critical information to emergency services and stayed with the boy comforting him during this traumatic time. We were thankful to hear that after being airlifted to Sick Kids Hospital, the boy is expected to make a full recovery.
Thank you for setting a remarkable example by reminding us the power of individual actions and the impact it can have on others. Kaydance, You make us all very proud!
