Cooke's To Be Awarded For Heroic Efforts

A local fish plant being honored for their heroic efforts.

Cooke's Aquaculture in St. George will be given an Industry Achievement Award during the Fish Canada/Workboat Canada Trade Show this weekend, for their selfless acts in the Flood of 2010.

When Charlotte County went under water last winter, an excess of 60 employees of Cooke's utilized boats to rescue people, as well as deliver food and supplies.

Cooke's also joined with JD Irving, in efforts to get those hit hardest into a new subdivision.

Glenn Cooke, CEO of Cooke's Aquaculture says "the flood happened in our town and to our people, there was no question of us getting involved."

The award will be presented at the Moncton Coliseum tomorrow night at 6.
