MA Alumnus Recipient of the Order of New Brunswick

Dr. John Leroux (MA 2002), from Fredericton, is one of the five new recipients who will be invested with the Order of New Brunswick.

Leroux was inducted for his outstanding vision, dedication and commitment to the future of the province's architecture and to the protection of historic buildings, and for his passion for building an improved quality of life for generations to come.

Leroux has won many awards for architectural and public art projects throughout Canada and was a team member of Canada’s entry at the 2012 Venice Biennale in architecture. A passionate advocate for the arts and for architectural conservancy, he has authored 18 books on architecture and visual culture, including Building New Brunswick: An Architectural History, and A Vision in Wood and Stone: The Architecture of Mount Allison University.

Under the supervision of Dr. Sandra Paikowsky, Leroux wrote the MA thesis The murals of Fred Ross: a quest for relevance.
