A South Simcoe Police Auxiliary Constable is being praised for their heroism and quick thinking in saving a young child’s life during the Innisfil Santa Claus Parade.
On Nov. 24 at 1 p.m., when the streets of Innisfil were packed with families excitedly waiting for the arrival of Santa, a young child went into distress, police say.
Police say auxiliary constable Balpreet Badial was on duty during the parade along Innisfil Beach Road when several members of the public ran to her and said, “Officer, we need help!”
Badial was brought to a four-year-old boy who was choking and unable to breathe.
Police say she quickly took action and began life-saving efforts on the boy and was able to successfully dislodge the blockage, found to be a piece of candy.
“I was right where I was supposed to be. I am grateful to have been able to save the life of a child in need,” said Badial.
“This family looked to me for help and as someone who could save their loved one. In these situations, every single second counts.”
Once the ambulance arrived, the child was assessed for medical evaluation and found to be in good health.
