Vernon woman hopes acts of kindness are catching after RCMP acknowledgment
Tamsen Vanbeest was acknowledged by Vernon Mounties this week for an act of kindness and she’s hoping her good deed leads to another.
She was driving through Vernon on Feb. 1 when she saw an elderly woman, laying on the sidewalk after having slipped on the ice. The woman’s husband was with her and when Vanbeest stopped, they together tried to get her off the ground, which was very slippery, to no avail. “She couldn’t stand on her own so I went and pulled my car up and we slowly moved her to sit half into my car then tried to recline my seat so we could get her in my car to be warm,” she said.RCMP say criminal investigation into historical allegations about Prince George Mounties is active
“There we found out she couldn’t turn her body to get her in my car so we left her just sitting half-in and I wrapped her in a blanket as it was very cold. The ambulance was going to be an hour and a half to two hours so with the police’s help we tried to get her in the car one more time so then I could just drive her to the hospital myself.”
