I kinow that during the WW2 era the George Medal was awarded to service persons who did brave acts while " off duty ".

What would the modern CF award be , in this case?

A brave act.

There is The Most Venerable Order of the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem (all grades):  http://www.forces.gc.ca/hr/dhh/honours_awards/engraph/honour_awards_e.asp?cat=3&Q_ID=15 

A member of my unit has received an award for bravery, for pulling a drowning civilian out of the Rideau Canal.  I will have to check which award it is he got, as it was not for actions in combat nor in the performance of his normal duties.
