Premier Furey Recognizes Recipients of the Order of Newfoundland and Labrador

November 4, 2024

The following statement was read in the House of Assembly today by the Honourable Dr. Andrew Furey, Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador:

Speaker, I rise today to recognize eight outstanding and inspiring Newfoundlanders and Labradorians.

The Order of Newfoundland and Labrador is the highest honour of the province. The Order recognizes individuals who have demonstrated excellence and achievement in any field of endeavour benefiting in an outstanding manner Newfoundland and Labrador and its residents.

The recipients this year are Bud Davidge, Clifford George, Liam Hickey, Saqamaw Mi’sel Joe, Andy Jones, Patrick O’Callaghan, Guy Poole and Dr. Andrea Rose.

Speaker, it was an honour and a privilege last week to take part in a celebration of the incredible contribution of these Newfoundlanders and Labradorians. Mr. Jones was not able to be invested into the Order last week and we will be having a ceremony for him at a later date.

Whether through their contribution in arts, culture and sport, or volunteerism, education and health care, these recipients, like those recognized before them, have made a positive and enduring impact on their communities and the province.

Speaker, I ask all members to join me in acknowledging and celebrating our newest Order of Newfoundland and Labrador recipients for being exceptional ambassadors for the best place in the world.

Thank you.
