Mounsey Fund founder honoured provincially Helping the community Patrick Armstrong, left, is the founder of the Dave Mounsey Memorial Fund and next week he will be honoured in Mississauga for his charitable work on behalf of the charity that places defibrillators in public buildings all over southwestern Ontario. He is seen here at the Fund's Run Around The Square last year with fellow OPP Constable Laurie McCann. (Photo submitted) By Shawn Loughlin The Citizen The founder of a local charity will be honoured at a provincial level next week for his philanthropic work. Patrick Armstrong, a Huron County OPP officer and the founder of the Dave Mounsey Memorial Fund, is one of 16 first responders who will be honoured at the 2016 Public Heroes Awards, set to be held April 14 in Mississauga. Each year throughout the Greater Toronto Area representatives from local first response organizations and one from the OPP are honoured and this year Armstrong will represent the provincial organization. Armstrong founded the Dave Mounsey Memorial Fund in 2009 in honour of Mounsey of Blyth, who had died several years earlier in a single -vehicle collision while on duty as an OPP officer. Mounsey also served in the community as a volunteer firefighter, played soccer and was involved with several local organizations. Just before his death, Mounsey was training for an organized run and raising money to place a defibrillator. The Fund continues this mission, having now placed over 50 defibrillators throughout southwestern Ontario with the majority placed in Huron County. In an interview with The Citizen, Armstrong said he had no idea he had even been nominated until the OPP informed him that he had won. Armstrong was nominated by a company called Rescue 7, which supplies the Fund with its defibrillators. The relationship, Armstrong says, has been much more than that over the years. Rescue 7 has very much been a partner to the Fund, occasionally even supplying a defibrillator to the organization free of cost. "They really like what we do," Armstrong said of Rescue 7. Armstrong says he was certainly honoured to hear he had been nominated for his work with the Fund and its events and donations over the years, but felt that the award should be shared by all of those involved with the group. "I feel like this doesn't really recognize me as a person, but rather the efforts of the DMMF," Armstrong said. He said that while he founded the organization and often appears as its spokesperson, it's the numerous volunteers on the Fund's board and throughout its three events, which has recently been whittled down to two, who deserve recognition for the work the Fund does. The Public Heroes Awards are presented annually by the Intercultural Dialogue Institute of the Greater Toronto Area. The awards were first handed out in 2011 and have continued to flourish ever since. This year's winners are: Patrick Armstrong, OPP; James Lambe, Toronto Police Services; Jason Hess, Toronto Paramedic Services; Tamara Sylvan, Toronto Fire Services; John Carson, York Regional Police; David Whitley, York Regional EMS; Heather Kennedy and Robert Jozelj of Ontario Correctional Services; Michelle Vivian of Peel Regional Police; Alexander McLean of Peel Regional Paramedic Services; Michael Fennell of Brampton Fire and Emergency Services; Scott Logan of Durham Regional Police; David Whitley of Durham Region EMS and Andre Clafton of Vaughan Fire and Rescue. Bruce Farr, a retired chief of Toronto Paramedic Services, will receive the organization's Lifetime Achievement Award and Stephen White, assistant commissioner with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, will receive the Distinguished Leadership Award. The Dave Mounsey Memorial Fund, Armstrong says, is in the final planning stages of placing its third defibrillator in Blyth — this time at the Blyth Legion. The donation will take place within the next few weeks, Armstrong said, and the defibrillator will be placed in the name of a fallen World War I or World War II veteran from Blyth, although exactly who it will be has yet to be decided. Volunteers with the Fund are also in the final planning stages of its Run Around The Square, which takes place annually in Goderich. Registration for the May 15 event is still open, although the early bird rate expired at the end of March.
