Premier announces ‘Above and Beyond Awards’ in Kamloops
KAMLOOPS — Premier John Horgan was in Kamloops Saturday, to announce the creation of the ‘Above and Beyond Awards’ program, which recognizes individuals and organizations who answered the call during the 2017 flood and wildfire seasons.
“It was an extraordinary fire season, following an extraordinary flood season,” Premier Horgan told the first responders, emergency service providers, and dignitaries gathered at the Provincial Wildfire Coordination Centre. “I want to thank… those who did the outstanding work in the flood season, and those across the province who came together for one of the worst fire seasons in our history.”
The ‘Above and Beyond Awards’ allows anyone throughout BC to nominate someone who they feel is worthy of recognition for their actions during the difficult spring and summer. At the announcement today, four of the awards were handed out.
