It's time for someone exceptional on the Sunshine Coast to be considered for the province's highest honour — the Order of British Columbia — which recognizes outstanding achievement and distinction in a variety of fields.
Since its inception in 1989, the Order of British Columbia has recognized 370 British Columbians from various sectors and regions of the province.
"For 26 years, we have recognized the outstanding contributions and achievements of our citizens with the Order of British Columbia, our province's highest honour," said Judith Guichon, Lieutenant Governor and Chancellor of the Order of British Columbia. "I encourage you to nominate those individuals in your community whose leadership and passion for the betterment of humanity contribute to our quality of life in British Columbia and beyond."
British Columbians are encouraged to consider the exceptional citizens in their communities and nominate an individual for appointment to the Order of B.C. Any B.C. citizen can submit a nomination.
An independent advisory council, chaired by the Chief Justice of British Columbia, will consider nominations, and successful nominees will be recognized at a special ceremony hosted at Government House.
Nomination forms and submission instructions are available by email: [email protected], telephone 1-250-387-1616 or online: www.orderofbc.gov.bc.ca/. All nominations must be submitted to the Honours and Awards Secretariat office in Victoria by March 6.
