A five-year-old boy from Innisfil, Ont., has been awarded for his honesty after he turned in a $100 bill that he found in his school’s yard last fall.
At the time of the discovery, the boy — Oliver — turned the cash in to his school’s office, which contacted the South Simcoe Police Service.
Officers held onto the money hoping the owner would come forward, but no one ever claimed the cash.
