The province says the Order of BC is intended to recognize residents who have made a significant provincial, national or international impact.
Premier David Eby extended his congratulations to the new order members, describing them all as “superheroes” for their “unique and profound” contributions to the province.
A ceremony for the new appointees will take place in Victoria this fall.
