​
A retired member of the Canadian Armed Forces; he taught at the BAttle School, and when he was not there he fired really big guns.
On 15 July 2012 at approximately 4:00 pm, Andre was on duty with 5 other Medical Ventures, providing first aid at the Whitby RibFest.
Lightning struck the main tent resulting in much chaos and 17 people being injured.
Andre, and the other Medical Venturers, started to triage and treat those injured until the Region of Durham Paramedics could arrive and take over.
​
For their actions, all six present were awarded Scouts Canada's Medal of Bravery.
