For over 20 years, BC Achievement Foundation has been celebrating the accomplishments of British Columbians, honouring exceptional people doing exceptional work. Driven by a spirit of excellence, BC Achievement’s programs highlight outstanding individuals and organizations, giving voice to their achievements and inspiring others to follow their lead.
All British Columbians are invited to Recognize Remarkable by nominating an individual for one of the award programs that BC Achievement presents. Nominations for all five programs are now open until February 15 at 11:59 pm.
Nominating someone helps shape the future of B.C. through its remarkable achievers. The five annual programs hosted by BC Achievement Foundation include the Community Award, BC Reconciliation Award, Indigenous Business Award, Polygon Award in First Nations Art, and Sam Carter Award in Applied Art + Design.
“It is important to recognize excellence in order to inspire others,” said Janna Wale, 2024 recipient of the Community Award. Wale is a Gitxsan and Cree-Métis policy advisor for the newly established Indigenous research stream at the Canadian Climate Institute. The Community Award recognizes British Columbians who raise the quality and character of their community and shine as models of dedication and service for others to follow.
“By recognizing and acknowledging people’s work,” Wale continued, “it also creates the opportunity for connection and knowledge sharing, which will further help build resilience within our communities.”
