The 2026 Medal of Good Citizenship program acknowledges individuals who have shown exceptional service and generosity within British Columbia. This recognition highlights their significant contributions to communities across the province.
The Medal of Good Citizenship was established in 2015 to celebrate individuals who have made outstanding contributions through their dedication and efforts. Recipients are chosen for their selflessness, commitment, and impact on the well-being of others.
Nominations for the medal typically come from community members, organizations, and local leaders who identify individuals deserving of this provincial honour. The selection process aims to recognize a diverse group of individuals from various backgrounds and regions of British Columbia.
This award serves as a formal acknowledgment by the provincial government of the valuable roles these citizens play in building stronger and more vibrant communities. It emphasizes the importance of civic engagement and acts of kindness that contribute to the collective good.
The BC Government News announced this initiative, outlining the program's purpose to honour those who make a tangible difference in the lives of British Columbians. The medal is one of the Province of British Columbia’s highest honours.
