To celebrate service excellence, the Province is inviting the public to nominate outstanding individuals for the Province’s two highest honours: the Order of British Columbia and the Medal of Good Citizenship.
The Order of British Columbia is the highest honour awarded by the Province and 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. Nominations for youth aged 15 to 25 are also accepted, as well as posthumous nominations.
Nominations for both honours must reach the Honours and Awards Secretariat by April 7, 2026, to be considered in 2026. An independent selection committee reviews all nominations and recommends candidates.
For further information and to submit nominations, please visit the Order of British Columbia and Medal of Good Citizenship web pages.
