A woman is alive thanks to the quick actions of North Island RCMP officers.
On Friday, Port Hardy RCMP received multiple calls about a suicidal woman walking into the ocean with the plan to kill herself.
Police say by the time officers arrived, she was already very far from shore.
Without hesitation, RCMP Constable Dupuy and Constable Spenner both swam out to the female and rescued her.
