An RCMP officer was honoured earlier Friday, May 20, 2022 after he and his partner delivered a baby in Kinosao Sipi First Nation.
Police were called to a home in the community and found a mother in labour. Cst Dylan Fedrau and Cst Lindsay Bawn immediately began helping. As Bawn cared for the mother, Fedrau delivered the baby.
“As a police officer, you never know what the next call will be and you have to be ready for anything. I don’t know that I could have anticipated helping to bring a baby into the world when I went to work in the morning, but I am so glad to have been able to help and to be one of the first to meet the little guy,” said Cst Fedrau.
The officers visited the family later in the day and brought the new baby a RCMP stuffed animal and a blanket. The officers learned that the family had named the newborn Dylan after Cst Fedrau.
“I am so honoured that these parents named their son after me. I am truly humbled,” said Cst. Fedrau. “I love working in this community, and to now have such an amazing, permanent, and life-long connection to it means more to me than the family could possibly know.”
The mother and baby are doing well.
