A former Senator and someone you often see at Market Square are the 2012 recipients of the Saint John Y's Red Triangle Awards Gala on April 4th.
Ermine Cohen is the winner of the Red Triangle Award for her years of service to the community in many roles.
Her daughter, Shelley Cohen-Thornley says her family is very proud of her and its never a surprise because she never retires.
She says her mom is deserving of all this but, she has to laugh as her mom was going to focus more on retirement until the Y called and she couldn't say no.
The 86-year-old Cohen who is in Florida for the winter is very excited to attend the Gala in April.
Stephany Peterson of UNB Saint John and Market Square will receive the 2012 Leader to Watch Award.
