Councillor Calendino, Chair of the Public
Safety Committee read the following address in recognition of three Burnaby
citizens that came to the aid of a young woman at the scene of an accident, and
performed meritorious acts as they attempted to save her life.
“On behalf of Mayor and
Council, we are privileged this evening to be meeting three commendable
citizens – Mr. John (Jack) Wilson, Mr. Tyson Rasmussen and Ms. Rebecca Littke –
and to be presenting them with the City of Burnaby’s Public Safety Award.
The City created the
Community Policing Award in 2008 to recognize people who have carried out an
act of bravery or courage related to crime prevention.
In 2015, the City changed
the name to the Public Safety Award which incorporates the RCMP, Anti-Graffiti
and the Burnaby Fire Department. This comprehensive award recognizes
individuals with a connection to Burnaby who have carried out meritorious
service or an act of bravery related to fire prevention, crime prevention,
community policing or public safety.
Meritorious service refers to
a deed or activity that has been performed in a highly professional manner, or
according to a very high standard. It is often innovative, sets an example for
others to follow, improves the quality of life of the community and brings
benefit or honour to Burnaby.
We are honoured to present
the Public Safety Award to these three well deserving individuals for the
meritorious service in providing aid to a citizen in serious peril.
On the 17th of
February 2015, in the area of Canada Way and Beta Avenue in Burnaby, BC, a
serious car collision had taken place involving two vehicles and a pedestrian.
As a result of the collision, one of the vehicles struck a pedestrian on the
sidewalk, causing her significant injuries. The 22 year old victim was rushed
to Royal Columbia Hospital by BC Ambulance; however, despite the significant
efforts of all involved she sadly succumbed to her injuries.”
MR. TYSON RASMUSSEN
“Mr. Tyson Rasmussen was in
the area of Canada Way and Beta Avenue when he witnessed a two car collision.
Mr. Rasmussen on seeing the pedestrian being hit, immediately ran to her aid.
Upon reaching her, he identified she was in critical condition, had no pulse
and wasn’t breathing. As such, he cleared her airway and began Cardio
Pulmonary Resuscitation. He was in the middle of performing CPR when he was
approached by a second and third civilian who identified they had further
medical training and as such he rightly handed over treatment of the pedestrian
to them.
Mr. Rasmussen, regardless
of having just witnessing a horrific accident, did not hesitate to come to the
aid of an injured young woman.”
Mr.
John (Jack) Wilson
“Mr. John (Jack) Wilson is
officially commended for outstanding actions in coming to the aid of, and in
attempting lifesaving first aid, on an injured person after a significant car
accident.
Mr. Wilson was at work in
the area when he was informed of a serious car collision which happened in
front of the business. Mr. Wilson, a trained first aid attendant, promptly went
to go see if he could be of assistance. Mr. Wilson sized up the chaotic nature
of the accident scene and immediately began providing assistance to another
citizen who was attempting Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation on the young woman.
Upon reaching her he identified she was in critical condition, had no pulse and
wasn’t breathing. Mr. Wilson assisted in chest compressions on the pedestrian,
and at one point coordinated the attempted use of a defibrillator on her, until
further medical assistance could arrive.
Mr. Wilson did not hesitate
to put his medical training into practice and come to the aid of an injured
young woman. He is to be commended on his humanity and selflessness. His
actions bring credit to himself and the City.”
Ms.
Rebecca Littke
“Ms. Rebecca Littke was at
work in the area of Canada Way and Beta Avenue when she was informed of a
serious car collision which had happened in front of the business. Ms. Littke,
a trained first aid attendant, quickly went to go see if she could be of
assistance. Ms. Littke, upon arriving on scene, began assisting where she
could with several of the other injured parties. However, she quickly realized
the most critically injured person was the pedestrian and went to help her
co-worker who was attempting Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation on the young
woman. Upon reaching the victim, Ms. Littke assisted in chest compressions on
the pedestrian until further medical assistance could arrive.
Ms. Littke did not hesitate
to put her medical training into practice and came to the aid of the injured
woman.
Despite the tragic outcome,
prompt actions on the part of Mr. Wilson, Mr. Rasmussen and Ms. Littke are to
be commended. Their quick thinking, humanitarian efforts and selflessness at
the scene in attempting lifesaving CPR, is a credit to themselves, their
families and their communities.
On behalf of the Public
Safety Committee, Burnaby City Council and Burnaby citizens, I want to tell you
how proud we are of you, and thank you for what you have done for all of us.”
