I hope Sechelt recognizes outstanding citizens, because I would like to nominate a fireman named Dwight who appeared out of nowhere in the instant we needed him. We were out for a walk in Kinnikinnick Park last Saturday while visiting friends in Sechelt. At the roadside entrance to the park, my six-year-old son slipped on loose gravel and fell on a metal culvert that cut a four-inch gash in his leg. Dwight happened to be driving by at the time and emerged on the scene like a guardian angel. He took control of the situation and calmed down a very scared little boy. Thanks to Dwight, my son received medical treatment within moments of the accident and there was an ambulance on the scene within minutes. Kudos also to Dr. Andrea Stinson in the Emergency Department at St. Mary’s Hospital for providing expert care. Sechelt, you are lucky to have these people looking after your community.
