For more than 20 years, BC Achievement has recognized individuals and organizations making a difference in British Columbia, sharing their stories to inspire change, build community pride, and encourage others to follow their lead.
Why Nominate Someone?
Because recognizing achievement is about more than celebrating success – it’s about amplifying stories that inspire, fostering pride in our communities, and shining a light on those who drive change and create lasting impact.
Recognizing achievement shares the impact of the work being done and ensures it reaches a wider audience. By nominating someone, you’re helping to honour their contributions and fostering a culture of inspiration and progress. James Nexw’Kalus’Xwalacktun Harry, a 2021 First Nations Art Award recipient, emphasized the importance of showcasing those who take risks and follow their passions to inspire the next generation, “We must continue to inspire the next generation of Indigenous people to pursue their dreams. Showcasing people who took risks and followed their passion will continue to inspire the future generations to do the same.”
Past awardee Kiran Toor, a 2023 Community Award recipient, highlights the value of these awards, noting how recognition strengthens bonds within communities and encourages growth and well-being. “Recognizing excellence in community service…inspires, encourages participation, strengthens bonds, raises awareness, and sustains the impact of community initiatives, ultimately leading to the growth and well-being of communities.”
Your nomination ensures that remarkable individuals get the recognition they deserve, encouraging others to follow in their footsteps. Brent Comber, who received the 2024 Sam Carter Award Award of Distinction , described awards as “a gift, a way to show that it’s possible to create a career doing what you love.”
The award programs celebrate achievements that impact British Columbia’s cultural, social, and economic landscape. Whether fostering reconciliation, preserving cultural traditions, or driving innovation, the honourees contribute meaningfully to the province’s future.
Nominations are open until February 15, 2025, at 11:59 PM. To nominate someone whose work deserves recognition, visit Recognize Remarkable.
