Senlac coping with the death of two of their own

Jul 4, 2011 | 2:12 PM

The small west-central Saskatchewan town of Senlac is coping with the loss of two people from their community who were killed in a Northern Saskatchewan plane crash on Thursday.

Wade Cooper, 44, and Cam Cooper, 40, who are brothers, grew up on farms near Senlac.

They were two of five people who died when a float plane crashed on its way back from a fly-in fishing trip.

Mayor Corinne McWatters said the men enjoyed rodeos and tried to go on at least one fishing trip with each other a year.

“It's very devastating to the whole community,” McWatters said. “There's three little kids from each, so that's, you know, very heartbreaking.”
