"The Barrhaven Legion's members include some of Canada's greatest war heroes. On Saturday, November 6, 2010, the quick action of civilian bystanders at the Legion gave new meaning to the term local heroes."

--Lisa MacLeod, MPP Nepean-Carleton

"It was highly traumatic for many of us to see a friend fallen, but these two women, Stacy Lamb and Lynn Hughes went above and beyond. They kept their cool, knew their stuff and saved a life. Without their immediate action and training in CPR, this night may have ended in tragedy."
