Congratulations to our partners and colleagues at the the Indigenous Sport, Physical Activity and Recreation Council along with the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture for receiving the Premier's Award for Innovation and Excellence in the category of Organizational Excellence.

The Premier’s Awards celebrate the best examples of innovation and excellence across the BC Public Service. They showcase the work of some of our most outstanding employees whose professionalism, dedication and innovation have made a difference in many lives and communities in B.C.

The Premier’s Awards were launched in 2004 and are held annually. In 2018 the program will be celebrating its 14th year of being the most prestigious recognition for the BC Public Service. This year, a new category will be introduced to highlight the BC Public Service’s commitment to evidence-based design in program or policy development.

The Awards are recognized both at a regional and provincial level. The regional awards recognize projects and individuals that impact a specific region, while provincial awards recognize projects or individuals whose impact is felt provincially or across multiple regions.
