It’s to do with a lifesaving incident back in January or 2018.
A man had fall through the ice, and Michael Nensiska from Longbow Lake and Robert Edlund were cited for rescuing him.
They initially took their snowmobiles out, but after several failed attempts using a rope, the crawled along the thin ice as it cracked under their weight.
After reaching the hold they were able to pull the man out of the freezing water.
The medals were handed out today.
