Wall of Life Plaque 
The Avery Keenan Memorial Wall of Life plaque was unveiled October 15 during the 2005 NBRL provincial conference in Fredericton. The plaque honors Avery Keenan (1925-2003), a longtime pro-life stalwart in New Brunswick’s pro-life movement. In addition, many other friends and loved ones are remembered. Numerous relatives of those mentioned attended the unveiling.
The plaque now hangs at the NBRL office in Fredericton.

Inscription on Plaque:
This wall is a means by which friends of the New Brunswick Right to Life Association may express their support for the work of the Association on behalf of the sanctity of all human life. It may also serve as a way of remembering the precious lives of loved ones.
The wall is erected in memory of John Avery Keenan (1925-2003). An exemplary and steadfast friend of life, Avery was the former president of Moncton Pro-Life and vice-president of New Brunswick Right to Life.
NB Right to Life gratefully acknowledges the kind support of its friends.
