Premier John Hamm and members of the Nova Scotia legislature today honoured Montreal Alouettes kicker and Bridgewater native Terry Baker.

The legislature unanimously adopted a resolution by Premier Hamm congratulating Mr. Baker for his efforts in securing the Grey Cup Championship for the Montreal Alouettes on Sunday, Nov. 24. Mr. Baker contributed to Montreal's 25-16 victory with a field goal, a single and three converts.
