Bring on the cod

By Mark Squibb

Bay Bulls council last week voted to support the second annual Cod Fest to the tune of $3,000.

Councillor Corey Ronanye explained the funding, made payable to the Regional Lifestyle Centre, which will be hosting the event, will help cover the costs of entertainment and food.

Cod Fest was launched in 2024 as a means of celebrating the cod fishery, once so vital to the community.

As part of last year’s Cod Fest, local restaurants were invited to duke it out for the title of Best Fish n’ Chips restaurant, with the Jigger bringing home the bragging rights.
