Award celebrates the promise of a shared path to reconciliation

The British Columbia Reconciliation Award was created to recognize individuals, groups and organizations who have demonstrated exceptional leadership, integrity, respect and commitment to furthering Truth and Reconciliation in the Province of BC; and/or inspired others to do so.

This award celebrates the promise of a shared path to reconciliation through the incredible work of leaders from all over British Columbia, whose commitment to recognizing past injustices and healing those wounds will lead us all to a brighter future. A selection committee for the BC Reconciliation Award will include representation by Indigenous Elders, BC First Nations leadership and government partners.

The award is granted by the Lieutenant Governor on the recommendation of the selection committee. Unless the Lieutenant Governor directs otherwise, the Awards shall be presented to the recipients as arranged by the Office of the Lieutenant Governor of British Columbia. This may occur in community, or at other locations, to be determined during the year of the awards.
