Honour House a place Michaud leaned on in recovery
KAMLOOPS — On the front lines, first responders are put in difficult situations, in some cases putting their lives on the line.
“Whether you’re fire, police, EMS, on a day-to-day basis you go to a lot of calls that can take a real toll on you as a person,” says Kamloops Fire Chief Dale McLean.
No one is more characteristic of this than Cpl. JR Michaud, who was shot at a traffic stop in December 2014.
Michaud went through multiple surgeries and spent 18 months recovering. Part of that recovery was spent at Honour House in New Westminster, a place Michaud and his family stayed free of charge.
