Recognition of heroes

Nickel Belt News photos courtesy of Shirley Linklater Nisichawayasihk Cree Nation chief and council recognized Doreen Ringrose and Sharla Murray at their general assembly Feb. 15 for the two women’s actions in June 2009 when they rescued a woman being assaulted near Riverside School in Thompson. Ringrose and Murray were walking home from dinner towards Ringrose’s home on Riverside Drive when they heard screams from the bush area behind the pumphouse. The two women called the RCMP and Murray directed police via her cell phone so they were able to apprehend a man fleeing from the scene. Ringrose located the victim in the bush and stayed with her while waiting for emergency medical personnel to arrive on scene. Murray and Ringrose later visited the woman their actions had helped after she underwent lifesaving surgery.
