CF Med Tech treats girl, 5, after severe multi-vehicle accident.

Has someone written her for and award? Was her life in peril as well?

I hope they do.
What you said made me feel a little guilty. I remember some of the many anonymous, unpaid, Good Samaritans who helped us do the job. Sometimes at risk to themselves. We could have have asked if they would like us to write them up, but there was seldom time. Or, we forgot. Being young, perhaps we just took their help for granted. Perhaps not all, but I am sure some of them would have appreciated formal recognition. Thinking back almost forty years, I can't think of a single person we ever wrote up. I regret that we did not.
"THE CITIZEN’S AWARD:
The Citizen’s Award is awarded to members of the public who render outstanding emergency assistance to their fellow citizens and Toronto EMS."
TPS hosts a similar annual ceremony.

Perhaps the City of Ottawa does as well?
 
Jim,
Historically, the unit will put a medic who does something similar to this in for the military commendation. Traditionally I have seen actions like this get anything from a CO's commendation right up to the CDS commendation.
