For the fifth year in a row, the City of Saint John took a night to say thank you to its many volunteers.
Donnie Cooper received a posthumous award for Lifetime Achievement in Sport.
Arliss Wilson knew Cooper for many years playing against him on the football field and serving with him on the executive of Fundy Minor Football.
He says long before you heard of priority neighbourhoods or community policy he had kids on the football field learing about teamwork and being a good citizen.
Fundraiser of the Year went to Sue Doiron and Volunteer of the Year in Recreation went to Trevor Fotheringham for his tireless work repairing and maintaining the trail system signs at Rockwood Park and the Rez.
