We would like to nominate Phil Sheldon for our hero or the year award. He has been through so much and still manages to put on a smile and be there for his family.

When you consider qualities that a community leader should embody, Constable Cealia Gagnon has all of them. She consistently goes above and beyond what is required as an officer, and with the biggest smile on her face. Constable Gagnon takes great pride in her community, and it shows. Through countless hours of volunteering, with multiple organizations and initiatives in Windsor, Constable Gagnon is always willing to assist others.

There is the greatest sense of genuineness from Constable Gagnon, she treats all of those that she interacts with, with the most utmost respect. She is a positive role model for young females, and provides a benchmark to strive towards. Windsor Police Service and the community is very fortunate to have an officer like Constable Cealia Gagnon to protect and serve. Lorraine Oloya, Windsor

On February 11th, 2015 Sault Ste. Marie Police Constable Steven Potter came to the aid of a man who had collapsed and had no pulse while attending a Soo Greyhounds hockey game. 

Cst. Potter assisted with CPR by doing chest compressions while an off duty nurse and medical personnel from the Canadian Snow Patrol were also attending to the unconscious man. 

An AED (Automated External Defibrillators) was successfully used and the man regained a pulse. The man was transported to the hospital by ambulance and has since made a full recovery.

The good example of the community and police working together to save a man's life. James Kucher, Sault Ste. Marie

I nominate Katie, because her fast response she saved the life of a member of her community. In May of 2015 while on duty, she attended a call where there was a victim of an attempted suicide by hanging. Immediately upon arrival, she commenced CPR and got the victim breathing again prior to the Paramedics arrival. One of the very basic calls in Policing is the "Preservation of Life" and Katie embodied that...!!!! Doug King - Sault Ste Marie

Sharon has gone above and beyond for many who come across her path. She is always trying to help and has even helped me with my very first humanitarian award. She deserves any and everything good that comes her way. Matte Black - Hamilton

Nominating Detective Kip Wohlert is my utmost honor. He is an extremely dedicated officer in the Child Exploitation division who gives so much of his time to saving and helping out our most vulnerable sector. His long hours, commitment and dedication is exceptional. He takes his job very seriously and I am extremely grateful for the many lives he has made a difference to. Thank you for keeping our children and communities safe. It is a daunting task, one which you undertake with such commitment no matter what the cost to you. I can't thank you enough for keeping our streets, homes and children safe from harm. Detective Kip Wohlert, you are a hero! Thank you. Wendy Butler - Orillia
