today at Blackdown CTC C/MWO K.C Maple from 337 queens york rangers RC(army)CC was awarded the Cadet Award for bravary. last summer he took a trip across the atlantic ocean with his uncle. they ran into a large storm and the boat tipped leaving him and his uncle alone in the middle of the atlantic ocean with out a lifeboat. they were eventually picked up 2 hours off the coast of greenland by the coast guard becouse MWO maple called his dad for help just before the boat tipped and the phone cut out. the uncle did not survive the accident.

there should be plenty of different news papers with the story of MWO maple being awarded the medal tommorow.

also i will try and find a artical with all the information about the accident that happend last year with his uncle. the information that i have given is some of what i have been told from him and a friend.




 
I saw him recieve the medal and I heard the citation and it sounded like the guy had guts.
 
If this is the same kid, he's pretty incredible! http://www.bloodandguts.ca/blog/info.html

Wow, what an incredible story. If he's doing this now, imagine what great things his future holds. Very well deserved honour. Kudos to K.C.

Grandma, if you scroll up you'll see we've already posted that link. I read all about him there and he certainly seems like a wonderful young man. With his 'can do' attitude and his efforts to help others, he deserves the recognition and honours that are currently being bestowed upon him. What an incredible young Canadian! I for one, will be following his future efforts to see what other great things lie ahead.
 
Thank you.
I noticed that first, then forgot :blotto:
(excuse?--i am a Grandma)
 
Grandma,

We're all proud of young men like him. :salute: He's a fine young man, although you already know that ;) However he may find fault with you posting his baby picture, world wide on the internet :D, but somehow I doubt it.  8)
 
  Hey! I did my jump course with this guy in 2003. Good job, Maple!

For the benefit of the good folks reading this, Maple's the kind of guy who's always got time for you and somehow (it's scary, really) knows the words to EVERY SONG OUT THERE  :o

Not to undermine the gravity of the events that occured in order for Maple to receive the award, but this is one genuine, exemplary young man. Cheers, buddy!
 
sometime in sept. TVO will be filming a 30 minute documentary about this guy.  i do not know when it will air.  i believe that it will be on STUDIO 2 which airs at 20:00 in ontario.  CBC has already done a good radio documentary which is available on their site.  site may be compromised due to labour difficulties at the moment.  a number of local newspapers throughout the province have covered his canoe journey across ontario.  he should wrap up his voyage in MTL somewhere on or about sept. 18 or 19.  google him from time to time or watch his site.  ho.
