The Provincial government wants Albertans to nominate remarkable community members, leaders and innovators for membership in the Alberta Order of Excellence.
The Order of Excellence is the province’s highest honour that recognizes citizens who have made a significant and lasting contribution to their communities.
Past members of the Order include Olympians, scientists, volunteers, leaders in business, and artists. Officials say 212 Albertans have been invested into the Alberta Order of Excellence since it was established in 1979.
The Province says nominations are accepted year-round, but in order to be considered for investiture this year, must be received by Feb. 15.
Officials say nominees must be Canadian citizens currently residing in Alberta and, if selected, must be able to attend the investiture ceremony. Officials also note that people cannot nominate themselves, their spouse or a member of their immediate family.
Information about the Order, including nomination guidelines, nomination forms and biographies of previous inductees is available on the Alberta Order of Excellence website.
Information is also available by calling 780-449-0517.
