Additional information
Cst. Beyak is the first woman to be entered on the Honour Roll. She was a participant in many sports and activities. She was an outstanding figure skater, member of the 4-H club and a member of the Sopilka Ukrainian Dancers. Prior to joining the Force she earned a Bachelor of Arts in Criminology from the University of Manitoba. Cst. Beyak always wanted to be a police officer. A troop mate of hers said that she "embodied optimism, hope, excitement for a new career”. Cst. Beyak was attending a call for assistance when she edged her vehicle out across the centre line to see if she could pass a slow-moving transport truck that was throwing blinding snow onto her windshield. When she edged her vehicle out, she instantly collided head-on with the Coroner who had just left a collision scene. An ambulance then rear-ended the Coroner. Cst. Beyak is buried in the cemetery of Winnipegosis, MB.
