Twelve distinguished British Columbians were honoured today for their dedicated service to the province as they received the 2012 Order of B.C. during an investiture ceremony at Government House.

"The Order of B.C. is the Province's way of acknowledging the tireless work recipients devote every day to the people of British Columbia," said Lieutenant-Governor Steven Point, Chancellor of the Order. "I'm so proud to share this day with 12 of our brightest stars."

"The Order of BC recipients invested today are examples of remarkable individuals who have contributed to improving the quality of life for British Columbians," said Premier Christy Clark. "On behalf of all British Columbians, I'm proud to honour each recipient and thank them for exceptional contributions to our province."

The Order of B.C., established in 1989, is the highest form of recognition the Province can bestow on its citizens and is awarded annually to those who have demonstrated outstanding distinction and achievement in any field. Since its introduction, 331 people have received this honour.
