Brenda Cook is celebrating 50 years of service with no signs of slowing down! Brenda is the Senior Manager Operational Excellence for our Orangeville, Ontario location. Her connection to yellow bus service runs deep, all the way back to her childhood. Her father started Cook Bus Lines in the 1950s. Her sister, Judy, took over the Snelgrove, Ontario location in 1970. Brenda started working with her sister in 1974 after graduating high school. She was a dispatcher and helped with accounts payable. Brenda was promoted to Assistant Location Manager and worked with Judy to grow the Snelgrove business from 100 to 300 buses! In 2001, Brenda took over the Orangeville location, eventually adding the Caledon and Dundalk locations. She moved to Richmond Hill in 2019 to manage the new start-up and became Senior Manager Operational Excellence in 2020. Congratulations, Brenda on your remarkable achievement. Thank you for your 50 years of service and living our values to Set the Highest Standards and Foster Teamwork.
