Stephanie and I were honored to witness this years Governor General’s Emergency Medical Services Exemplary Service Medal recipients and the McNally Bravery Award recipients at the ceremony in Windsor Ontario. Held in the Caesar’s Windsor Ballroom, we celebrated with all 150 award winners. The Ottawa McNally Award recipients received a standing ovation from the crowd for their part in the October 22, 2014 incident in Ottawa. That’s the first time I’ve ever seen that.

This was only the second time I’ve been to Windsor. The first was 10 years ago for the same reason. We did not stay at the Caesar’s Windsor, but we did visit it and I won $47. I was not as lucky this time.
