On 5 May 1949, a group of three lakes in Northern Manitoba was named Mynarski Lakes in honour of P/O Andrew Charles Mynarski, who was posthumously awarded the Victoria Cross. He died in France in 1944 after risking his own life in an attempt to save a comrade trapped in their burning Lancaster bomber.
