There's a new Medal of Good Citizenship for those British Columbians who make a difference in their community.
The B.C. government announced the new award to commemorate B.C. Day.
"This year and going forward, good citizens whose actions are making a difference in their communities will have the opportunity to be officially recognized by the province," said Shirley Bond, selection committee chair and Minister of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training and Minister Responsible for Labour. "The B.C. Day long weekend is the perfect time for British Columbians to think about those people in their communities who exemplify good citizenship with acts of generosity and service and consider nominating them for this provincial medal."
The medal features British Columbia's shield, floral emblem and the words, 'Generosity, Service and Selflessness'.
Deadline for nominations for the medal is on Friday, Sept. 25, 2015. For information on how to nominate someone for this award can be found at www.gov.bc.ca/medalofgoodcitizenship.
