Peter Moody honoured by Governor General C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor

Today at Rideau Hall in Ottawa, His Excellency the Right Honourable David Johnston, Governor General of Canada, presented a Medal of Bravery to Mr. Peter Richard Peter Moody Moody. Moody was nominated for the award by his son and will receive it in recognition of his actions on November 25, 2012, when he and wife, Susan Bond, were attacked by a grizzly bear. The couple had been hiking near their home on LD Ranch Road east of Kimberley on a sunny afternoon when they startled a grizzly sow and her cubs near a deer kill. The Governor General read the following at the ceremony: “On November 25, 2012, Peter Moody risked his life to protect his wife who was being attacked by a bear in Kimberley, British Columbia. The couple was hiking in a wooded area when they encountered the grizzly, which attacked the woman and pinned her to the ground. See MEDAL, page 3
