Man Who Saved Ste. Anne Students Awarded Star of Courage

By Marianne Curtis On October 28, Governor General David Johnston awarded Winnipeg native Lester Lehmann a Star of Courage for his selfless actions in protecting 26 students from armed gunmen. The students, all teenagers from Ste. Anne, were visiting the Dominican Republic on a humanitarian mission when the event took place.

Lehmann was looking after the apartments where the students were staying when two intruders broke into the villa about one o’clock in the morning.

Most of the students did not witness the shooting but they all heard it. The division flew the group home immediately. None of the 18 students, plus 8 teachers and adult chaperones, was injured.

The Town of Ste. Anne was recently able to plant 230 trees in the community thanks to a grant from CN EcoConnexions – From the Ground Up, in partnership with Tree Canada.

According to the Town of Ste. Anne Council, this grant, along with matching funds from the town, will fund the planting of almost 230 trees near the perimeter of the Town.

“This initiative provides a welcoming change for the residents and visitors alike,” said Mayor Richard Pelletier. “We are pleased that this project will intensively enhance our community and create a more desirable scenery for future generations and improve environment benefits as trees play a vital role in providing habitat for wildlife.” Trees have also been planted along Centrale Avenue.
