Fourteen exceptional people who have made an outstanding provincial, national, or international impact will be appointed to the Order of British Columbia, the Province’s highest form of recognition and an official part of the Canadian Honours System.
A big name made the list in Ryan Reynolds.
A nod to the Deadpool actor, Premier David Eby said that ‘’while they are not officially part of the Marvel Universe, these 14 remarkable individuals are superheroes.
They have contributed in unique and profound ways to our province, our nation and beyond, through leadership, selflessness, and generosity.
This year, 224 British Columbians were nominated. The new additions bring the total membership of the Order of British Columbia to 503.
The Province’s other honour, the Medal of Good Citizenship, recognizes people who have gone above and beyond without expectation of reward in service to their communities.
Nominations for the Medal of Good Citizenship are open and must be received by Sept. 4, 2023, to be considered for this year.
