Two Saint Johners were inducted into the Order of New Brunswick today at a ceremony in Fredericton. It’s one of the province’s highest honours.
Arthur Irving is getting the nod for his contributions to the province’s economy and preserving the natural environment, as well as Ann-Marie Tingley for her service as a life-long community volunteer and crusader for those with intellectual challenges.
The Order of New Brunswick was first awarded in 2002 to recognize individual New Brunswickers who have demonstrated excellence and achievement in their lives, volunteer work, and careers.
Other recipients included Calixte Duguay of Caraquet, Raymond Fraser of Fredericton, Cindy Hewitt of Hillsborough, Audrey Lampert of Moncton, Raymond Lagacé of Atholville, Salem (Sam) Masry of Fredericton, Philip Sexsmith of Fredericton, and Ron Turcotte of Drummond.
