BC Achievement celebrates excellence and community contributions across British Columbia through five award programs:

  1. Community Award – Recognizing individuals who strengthen their communities through their dedication and service*
  2. Indigenous Business Award – Celebrating the achievements of Indigenous entrepreneurs and businesses
  3. Polygon Award in First Nations Art – Honouring artistic excellence in both traditional and contemporary visual arts by First Nations artists
  4. Sam Carter Award in Applied Art + Design – Highlighting exceptional applied art and design contributions
  5. BC Reconciliation Award – Recognizing individuals and groups who advance reconciliation

Each program underscores the importance of recognizing and sharing the stories of individuals and organizations working to build stronger, healthier, and more vibrant communities across BC.

Whether it’s acknowledging innovative Indigenous business leaders, artistic excellence or honouring community-driven achievements, this is your opportunity to highlight remarkable people from across the province.

The deadline to submit nominations is February 15, 2025, and we encourage you to think about the remarkable people in your community that deserve this recognition.

I’ve attached our Recognize Remarkable poster in case you’d like to share it with colleagues, friends and family.

*An Emerging Leader designation for the Community Award program was introduced last year to recognize and celebrate young people who are making a difference in their communities and striving to make BC a better place.

To make sure your nominee is in the running for the upcoming awards, please submit a nomination online at bcachievement.com by Feb 15, 2025. If you have any questions about the award programs or need guidance on the nomination process, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m happy to assist.
