The Lieutenant Governor of New Brunswick (French (masculine): Lieutenant-gouverneur du Nouveau-Brunswick, or (feminine): Lieutenant-gouverneure du Nouveau-Brunswick) is the vice-regal representative of the Queen of Canada in the province of New Brunswick. The role of the Lieutenant Governor is to carry out the constitutional and ceremonial duties of the monarch in the province.
The Governor General appoints the Lieutenant Governor of New Brunswick on the advice of the Canadian Prime Minister. There is no set limit to a Lieutenant Governor's term, the traditional description being "at Her Majesty's pleasure." The Lieutenant Governor, him or herself a recipient of the award as Chancellor of the Order, bestows the Order of New Brunswick on deserving New Brunswick citizens. Similarly, the viceroy becomes the Vice-Prior of, and is also appointed a Knight or Dame of, the Most Venerable Order of the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem upon their swearing in as Lieutenant Governor.1 The Governor also personally awards a number of medals and prizes related to the vice-regal office. The Lieutenant Governor awards the Lieutenant Governor's Prize for the Conservation of Wild Atlantic Salmon.1
The viceroy is also patron of a number of organizations, including the Canadian Red Cross (New Brunswick Region), the New Brunswick Lung Association, and the Royal Canadian Legion (New Brunswick Command).1
The present Lieutenant Governor of New Brunswick is Herménégilde Chiasson, who has served in the role since August 26, 2003.
This is a list of lieutenant-governors of the Canadian province of New Brunswick, before and after Confederation in 1867.
