Delta South MLA Vicki Huntington is encouraging community members to nominate worthy individuals for the Order of British Columbia, the province's highest recognition of excellence and lifetime achievement.
Huntington said the Order of British Columbia offers British Columbians a golden opportunity to take part in the public recognition of individuals who demonstrate outstanding achievement, excellence and distinction in their particular fields of endeavour. "If you know anyone in this community who has truly led by example, I encourage you to nominate them for the Order of British Columbia," says Huntington.
Since 1989, 313 British Columbians from all walks of life and many regions of the province have received the Order of British Columbia, including South Deltans Irving (Ike) Barber, Felix Durity, Bruno Marti and Ken Dobell.
Nominations are being accepted until March 7. Forms are available from the Honours and Awards Secretariat in Victoria (250-387-1616), the Order of British Columbia website at www.orderofbc.gov.bc.ca or at Huntington's constituency office in Ladner.
