ORDER OF BRITISH COLUMBIA 

Call for Nominations 
Submission Deadline: March 10, 2011 5 p.m. (PST) 
 
The British Columbia Honours and Awards Secretariat is currently 
accepting nominations for the province's highest honour, the Order of 
British Columbia. Established in 1989, the Order of B.C. recognizes 
those people who have served with the greatest distinction and excelled 
in any field of endeavour that benefits the people of B.C. or elsewhere. 
It represents the highest form of recognition the province can extend to 
its citizens. 

Recognition 
Successful nominees will be presented with the honour by the Honourable 
Steven Point, Lieutenant Governor of British Columbia and Chancellor of 
the Order of British Columbia, at an official ceremony at Government 
House in Victoria later this year. 

Eligibility 
The Order of B.C. is open to any resident of B.C. or former long-term 
resident, who has demonstrated outstanding achievement, excellence or 
distinction in any field of endeavour benefiting the people of the 
Province or elsewhere. Fields include community leadership, business, 
labour, industry, volunteer service, professions and other occupations, 
research, culture, arts, sports and others. 

Federal, provincial and municipal elected representatives are not eligible for 
appointment to the Order while they remain in office. A person may not be 
appointed to the Order posthumously unless the Advisory Council 
recommends the appointment to the Lieutenant Governor in Council before 
the person's death. 

Nomination forms 
Nomination forms are available by going to www.orderofbc.gov.bc.ca and 
following the link for the nomination form. All entries should reach the 
Honours and Awards Secretariat office in Victoria by 5 p.m. on March 10,
