New Brunswick’s first-ever female Premier, Susan Holt, is celebrating her birthday today. She is turning 48. This history-making Premier was elected her province’s Liberal leader in 2022. A year later she was sent to the New Brunswick Legislature after securing a seat in a by-election. Last fall, she led her party to victory, defeating Blaine Higgs and his Conservatives, making history as her province’s first-ever female Premier. Happy birthday from Art’s History Premier Holt!
