I would like to nominate Joe Poderys for a hero of the year award. On September 27, 2015, our 15 year old son was in a terrible accident. Joe arrived and stayed on the scene for several hours and went above and beyond, providing incredible support to our family as well as our neighbours. His sensitive, kind and compassionate approach will always be remembered, especially by our son. Joe helped us through this tragic morning of events and truly put life into perspective. We are so grateful our son survived this terrible ordeal and so grateful that Joe was with us that day. We wanted to somehow thank him for that day and tell him what a "hero" he was to our family. Please accept this nomination for the amazing work ethic of one the Sault's finest, Joe Poderys. Sincerely, The Mitchell Family
