The Prince George RCMP is recognizing a local boy for an act of kindness and bravery that occurred last week at Lheidli T’enneh Memorial Park.
While on a field trip with his class, Parker Evans,7, saw a small child who appeared to be in distress. Parker approached the child and asked where their parents were. When the child indicated they didn’t know, and Parker could not see anyone close by, he brought the child to his teacher. Together, the three of them located the child’s mother nearby.
“We wanted to recognize Parker for his kindness, bravery and leadership. The park was very busy that day and it would have been easy for a young boy to be solely involved in playing with his class. When Parker noticed the distressed child and acted to help, bringing the child to a trusted adult, that shows amazing leadership and bravery that we believed needed to be awarded,” states Cpl. Jennifer Cooper, media relations officer for the Prince George RCMP.
Members of the Community Policing Unit visited Parker’s class on Wednesday, June 26 and presented him with a certificate of recognition, a police notebook, and a Victim Services Challenge Coin.
