Nominations for the province's highest recognition of excellence and lifetime achievement - the Order of British Columbia (OBC) for 2012 - are now being accepted.
To submit a candidate's name and biographical information, nominators are asked to complete the OBC nomination form.
These can be obtained by downloading the form from the website: www.orderofbc.gov.bc.ca, or requesting the form from any government agent office, or from the Honours and Awards Secretariat office at 250-387-1616.
Nominations for the Order of British Columbia will also be accepted at the Secretariat's office (1st floor; 548 Michigan St.; Victoria, B.C.; V8V 1S2) until 5 p.m., March 10, 2012.
A dinner and special ceremony of recognition will be hosted later this year by Lt.-Gov. Steven Point at Government House for recipients and invited guests.
