Nominations are now open for two of the Province’s highest honours: the Order of British Columbia and the Medal of Good Citizenship.

The Order of British Columbia represents the highest form of recognition the Province can extend to its people.

It recognizes outstanding achievement, excellence or distinction by a former or current B.C. resident whose contributions benefit the province and elsewhere.

The Medal of Good Citizenship honours individuals whose selfless volunteerism, generosity and contributions have a positive effect on their community.

Youth nominations are also accepted (aged 15 to 25), as well as posthumous nominations.

Nominations for both honours need to be in by April 7.

An independent selection committee reviews all nominations and recommends candidates.

The Order of B.C. has seen 530 appointments since its inception in 1989.

The Medal of Good Citizenship has been around since 2015 and has honoured 193 people, two communities and one group for their outstanding contributions.

You can submit a nomination for the Order of British Columbia and the Medal of Good Citizenship.
