Nominations are being accepted for the Order of British Columbia, the Province’s highest honour.
British Columbians who have demonstrated outstanding achievement, excellence or distinction in a field of endeavour benefiting people in the province or elsewhere are eligible.
British Columbians are encouraged to nominate inspiring individuals who have left a lasting legacy in their respective fields. Any resident of BC or former long-term resident who has demonstrated outstanding achievement, excellence or distinction in a field of endeavour is eligible.
Fields of endeavour may include community leadership, business, labour, industry, art, sports, volunteer service, professions and other occupations.
Established in 1989 by statute, the Order of British Columbia represents the highest form of recognition the Province can extend to its citizens. Since its inception, 475 British Columbians have been appointed to the order.
Appointments to the order are made annually to the most outstanding British Columbians. To be considered for 2022, nominations and letters of support for the Order of British Columbia must be received by Monday, April 4, 2022, at the Honours and Awards Secretariat at bchonoursandawards@gov.bc.ca.
“A nomination for the Order of British Columbia is a wonderful way to recognize the best and brightest individuals in B.C. It’s a way to thank and celebrate them for their service and mark their legacy and contributions in making our province a better place,” said Janet Austin, B.C.’s lieutenant governor and chancellor of the Order of British Columbia.
“If you know someone who has made a positive impact in our province, I encourage you to nominate them.”
