Sault man recognized at local police awards for his strength, will to survive after brutal daytime attack in September 2023 that shocked the community
Liam Frenette — the victim of a brutal stabbing on the Sault Ste. Marie boardwalk Sept. 7, 2023 — was honoured by Sault Police for his bravery, strength and determination to survive with a commendation letter at the 36th annual Sault Police Community Awards at the Delta Hotel Thursday evening.Frenette’s alleged attacker, Steven Jones, is facing two separate charges: one for the murder of 22-year-old Taylor Marshall and another for the attempted murder of Frenette on the Sault’s boardwalk.
“It was shock, absolutely. That level of violence in the community, and then it happens to you. It’s a lot to process. Sometimes I think ‘who’s that guy behind me?’ The breathing gets short a little bit but I get the deep breathing going. That’s very helpful,” Frenette said.
In the seven years they have been in business, Mark and Lisa have continually supported those in need. Thank you for your compassion and generosity; it is wonderful to see your ongoing work and giving back to our community.
