Lieutenant Governor's Medal Program for Inclusion, Democracy and Reconciliation

The Lieutenant Governor's medal program was established in 1979 to recognize students enrolled in vocational and career programs at public post-secondary institutions in British Columbia. The medal program was created to recognize students who excel in their studies and contribute to the life of their institution or community. For nearly forty years, British Columbia's Lieutenant Governor has awarded the medal to outstanding students who have distinguished themselves through their post-secondary education. Effective 2019, the award was modernized to also recognize B.C. public post-secondary students in two-year diploma programs and four-year undergraduate programs. The program criteria now recognizes students who have made outstanding contributions to the promotion of inclusion, democracy and/or reconciliation within their campus community. Recipients are chosen by their institution and receive a commemorative medal.
