Cliff and Harvey Friesen of Bearskin Airlines Nominated

THUNDER BAY – Harvey and Cliff Friesen have been nominated for the 1st Jim Glass Humanitarian Award. Harvey Friesen is the President of Bearskin Airlines and Cliff Friesen is the Executive Vice President. Sponsored by ATAC and Transwest Air, the Jim Glass Award will be given to a member of the Canadian aviation community who has demonstrated selfless generosity, compassion, business acumen and best exemplify the values Jim Glass demonstrated through community involvement.

Together, Harvey and Cliff Friesen have grown Bearskin Airlines from a small relatively insignificant northern float plane operation to one of Canada’s most successful regional commuter airlines.

Ron Hell from Bearskin comments, “During their years at the helm of Bearskin they have demonstrated a strong business acumen and serious community involvement that we believe mirrors that of the late Jim Glass”.
