Public service employees who go above and beyond in their work to make life better for people in B.C. have been recognized at the Premier’s Innovation and Excellence Awards.

“I am so grateful for the incredible work of the individuals and teams who are dedicated to impacting the lives of British Columbians every day,” said Premier David Eby.

“It is inspiring to witness the work they do, while they also find ways to innovate and lead. I encourage everyone to watch the videos on the nominees so they can see how much creativity and energy goes into the work of providing services for the people of British Columbia.”

Ten public service projects and individual employees were recognized for their creativity, commitment, and professionalism in eight categories: Emerging Leader; Evidence-Based Design; Innovation; Leadership; Legacy; Organizational Excellence; Partnership; and Regional Impact.

The awards highlight the wide range of work underway, such as improving emergency services, advancing reconciliation, protecting the environment, and supporting those who need it most.
