The Centennial Awards were created to honour exceptional registered nurses whose work has had a positive impact on nursing and on the lives and health of Canadians. Recipients were nominated for the one-time-only award by their peers as a recognition of their contributions to the profession, the workplace and the health system.

The award winners from New Brunswick are: Liette Clément, Douglas; Yolande LePage-Cyr, Edmundston; Daniel Savoie, Moncton; Lois Scott, Shediac; Linda Silas, Ottawa; Elizabeth Sparks, Riverview; and Linda Varner, Memramcook.
