TOP DOGS IN SAINT JOHN

The Saint John Sea Dogs have captured the big fish.

Last night, the Sea Dogs organization captured the “sport, recreation, and active living award” as the City of Saint John handed out Merit Awards.

“The sport, recreation and active living award went to the Saint John Sea Dogs for the programs they sponsor for the community, including their work to help deliver the DARE program at school and community centres, their Get FANatical About Math program in School Districts 6 and 8, sponsored by Canadaport LNG, and the Irving Oil Team Player program that promotes the positive values of minor hockey and the importance of being a team player, both on and off the ice,” reports the Telegraph-Journal.

The awards were given to groups and individuals who have made a major impact on the quality of life for Saint John citizens.

Sea Dogs president Wayne Long was on hand to accept the award.
