Cadet Master Warrant Officer William Bowen
July 1st, 2017, Bowen and his long-time friend Sidney, had just been done boating in Conestogo Lake, ON, when Bowen's father noticed a man struggling in the water and conveyed the information to each, Bowen and Sidney reacted promptly in the moment, and dove into the water, bringing him to land and providing first aid.[2]
