Albertans are invited to nominate outstanding citizens, community leaders and innovators for membership in the Alberta Order of Excellence.
Up to 10 individuals will be inducted into the Order this year in recognition of remarkable contributions to their community, the province and the nation.
Public nominations must be received by February 15 to be considered for investiture this year. Nominations received after that date, and nominations not selected in 2014, may be held and considered for up to seven years.
Nominees must be Canadians citizens currently residing in Alberta and, if selected, must be able to attend the special investiture ceremony in October. 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 at www.lieutenantgovernor.ab.ca/aoe
