MLA encourages Nominations for the Order of British Columbia

Delta, B.C. - Delta South MLA Vicki Huntington is encouraging our community to nominate worthy individuals for the Order of British Columbia - the province’s highest recognition of excellence and lifetime achievement.

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, the Province's highest award, including South Deltans: Irving (Ike) Barber, Felix Durity, Bruno Marti and Ken Dobell.

Nominations are presently being accepted and the deadline is 5 p.m., March 10, 2012.

Forms are available from the Honours and Awards Secretariat in Victoria (250 387-1616), the Order of British Columbia web site at www.orderofbc.gov.bc.ca, or at Vicki Huntington's Constituency Office in Ladner.
