Eighteen people are being recognized for their exceptional contributions as the Medal of Good Citizenship marks 10 years of celebrating community service in British Columbia.
The medal was established in 2015 and is the second-highest honour the province can bestow on its citizens.
Including this year’s recipients, the province has awarded 196 Medals of Good Citizenship since the honour’s inception in 2015.
Acting generously:
“Today marks a decade of celebrating exceptional people who do remarkable things out of the goodness of their hearts,” said Premier David Eby.
The Medal of Good Citizenship celebrates individuals who have acted in a generous, kind or selfless manner for the betterment of their communities, without expectation of reward.
Committee selection:
“As we commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Medal of Good Citizenship, I am deeply grateful for the outstanding individuals who have served our communities in powerful ways,” said Anne Kang, Minister of Tourism, Arts, Culture and Sport, and chair of the Medal of Good Citizenship selection committee.
“This year’s recipients continue that legacy. Their compassion and dedication have touched the lives of many, exemplifying the very best qualities of what it means to be a British Columbian,” said Kang.
