Sharon Williamson - Nomination 2

Sharon is someone I have been following because she was giving away a trip to Niagara for a weekend to a deserving person. I nominated Adam King due to his struggles and he won. Sharon videoed a homeless man picking the winner. I thought she must be too good to be true...until I started following her. Our world needs more people in our lives like Sharon. Dedicated, generous, smart, devoted and an honourable person. She is so deserving!!! - Kelly Stark, Hamilton

Everyday she created new and challenging activities to ensure I got the most out of my experience. She taught me that policing is "1001 jobs" and made me realize that policing isn't just about crime. She helped me understand that one of the most important parts of policing is building relationships within the community. Working together with the community contributes to a safer environment.

Phil Sheldon - Nomination 8

Phil Sheldon is my brother, my friend, and a hero in our community. Phil was seriously injured while doing the job he loves this past summer - a stark reminder of the danger first responders subject themselves to, in order to keep the rest of the community safe. While the injuries he sustained will be with him for the rest of his life, it is not the scars that make him extraordinary...it's the fact that he would do it all again, despite first-hand knowledge of the potential outcome.
