RCMP Insp. Dave Dubnyk, son of Wally Dubnyk and the late Ina Dubnyk of North Battleford, recently had the opportunity to meet Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
Dubnyk had been deployed to assist with the wild fire situation in Fort McMurray and was there when Prime Minister Trudeau paid a visit to the Alberta city.
What made the experience particularly interesting was the fact that approximately 40 years ago Dubnyk also had the opportunity to meet and shake the hand of then Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau.
“To meet and shake the hands of father and son prime ministers was a rare and unique experience,” Dubnyk stated. He is currently posted in Edmonton, Alta. where he works with the Alberta Law Enforcement Response Teams (ALERT).
