Province of British Columbia looks to honour outstanding British Columbians with Good Citizenship Award

The British Columbia Government has put out the call for nominations to recognize individuals who have made an outstanding contribution to the well being of the communities that they live in.

Last year eighteen British Columbians were awarded the Medal of Good Citizenship, saluted for the wide range of community involvement and dedication to their fellow residents. 

In the Northwest Dr. Peter Newbery of New Hazelton made the 2019 honours list, a celebration of his many contributions to life in the community.

The full list of past recipients can be reviewed here.

North Coast MLA Jennifer Rice shared word of the nomination process on Thursday, providing some thoughts on the program through her Social media stream.

The nomination process is in motion on a year round basis, with no time limit or deadline in place other than to fit into the parameters of the year to year honours.

The announcement of those selected for the award is usually made in the fall or early winter.

To learn more about the nomination process and submit someone you believe is deserving of the honours see this background piece from the province.
