The Third Age Centre honours and recognizes outstanding contributions to the quality of life and wellbeing of New Brunswick seniors with two annual awards. The Wakeling Award, named for George Wakeling, one of the founding members of the Third Age Centre, is for an individual. The Logue Memorial Award, named for Marjorie and Ottis Logue, former members and generous benefactors of the Third Age Centre, is for an organization or group. These awards are presented on October 1st each year, at the International Day of Older Persons luncheon hosted by the Third Age Centre in Fredericton. These awards have a proud history of more than twenty years. Award recipients in both categories are selected on the basis of the impact, quality, and creativity of the service that has been provided, and in light of a demonstrated ongoing commitment to bettering the lives of older adults in New Brunswick. 2015 Recipients
