Do you know someone who deserves to be recognized with the highest honour awarded by the province?
Nominations for the Order of New Brunswick are once again being accepted by the province until April 1.
It celebrates the achievements of New Brunswickers who have contributed to the province’s economic, cultural and social development.
This year, nominations are also sought for those who have made extraordinary contributions to the province’s response to COVID-19.
“In my role, I have met many New Brunswickers who lift their communities upward, break down barriers for their peers, and set a standard for excellence in their domains through hard work and perseverance,” Lt.-Gov. Brenda Murphy said in a statement.
“Indeed, it is because of exceptional and committed people that New Brunswickers have been able to respond with such strength and unity to the pandemic effort over the past two years.”
More than 190 people have been recognized since the Order of New Brunswick’s inception in 2000.
Any Canadian citizen who is a present or former long-term resident of the province is eligible for nomination.
Applications will be accepted until April 1 and the recipients will be announced on New Brunswick Day, Aug. 1.
