    KAMLOOPS, B.C. — The RCMP detachment in Kamloops, B.C., has celebrated a milestone in the recovery of one its own a year after the officer was shot during a traffic stop.
     
    Cpl. Jean-Rene Michaud's colleagues held a small ceremony for him and announced he is recovering well after countless surgeries, complications and setbacks.

    Michaud was transferred to Vancouver for treatment before returning to a Kamloops hospital months after he was shot. (CFJC)
