Two Saskatchewan men who dove into icy waters in a bid to save two young girls and a woman who fell through the ice of a frozen lake are being honoured posthumously. On November 24, 2023, after witnessing their family members fall through the ice of Humboldt Lake, Joe and Chris Novecosky rushed in after them — an act of bravery that would ultimately cost them their lives. Joe was always courageous, even as a child. He would take risks that I, as a dad, thought were crazy, but now I see he was blessed with a lot of courage, said Andrew Novecosky, Joe’s father. Along with Chris and Joe, seven-year-old Ava Novecosky also died that day after falling into the frigid Humboldt Lake, located about 123 kilometres east of Saskatoon.
