Bonny River Heroes Receive Awards

The Bonny River heroes being honoured for their help in the dramatic rescue of two people in a car that was swept into the Magaguadavic River at the height of last December's flooding.

Brian Barker and Rod Cooke sprang into action taking Cooke's boat and with only the light from the driver's cell phone reaching the pair in the darkness and bringing them to safety just before the car sunk.
