‘Public safety isn’t just about the police — it’s about everyone that’s being honoured tonight,' said Chief Hugh Stevenson, at event for outstanding citizens and businesses
Nick Brunetta and Jeremy Sprague were among several citizens recognized for their bravery and contributions to Sault Ste. Marie at the 35th annual Police Community Programs Night inside the Delta Hotel on Tuesday.
“We don’t allow pedestrian traffic, so anytime we see anybody walking on there, it throws you for a loop,” Sprague says. “I jumped in the truck and drove up there as quick as I could and kept my distance a little bit and just tried talking to the person.” Brunetta, along with other workers in the area, had stopped traffic so there was nobody driving by while the incident was taking place.
SMC vice-principal Christopher Czop says the program has brought their school community closer together. Sault Police Sgt. Rob Chabot and spokesperson Lincoln Louttit handed out each award, while Chief Stevenson and Deputy Chief MacLachlan posed for photos with all the recipients.Grocer 4 Good Ability Development Program, founded by Lisa Vezeau-Allen in 2019, is a non-profit grocery store that provides food access in the downtown area for residents on a fixed income, as well as employment opportunities for people with intellectual disabilities.
