The province has recognized 89 residents for their work to help other during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Stepping up for my New Brunswick program asked residents to nominate those in their community that found ways to support others in 2020.
In a statement issued by the province, Premier Blaine Higgs said New Brunswickers have demonstrated resiliency and generosity while coping with the pandemic.
“From all regions of New Brunswick, individuals went above and beyond, for their neighbours, friends, family members and their communities,” Higgs’ statement reads.
The recipients include Tammy Duplessis for her work with Handi-Bus in Saint John, and Tracey Ryan and her pup Charlie B, who offered canine therapy to front-line workers.
