Order of the Dogwood

Order of the Dogwood

The Order of the Dogwood was the province of British Columbia (BC)'s highest award for civilian achievement. The award began as the Dogwood Medallion as a project of the BC provincial centennial in 1957. The medallion award was renamed to Order of the Dogwood in 1966 and continued as the highest provincial award until 1989, when it was superseded by the Order of British Columbia.[1] Between 1966 and 1989, a total of 13 individuals were awarded this honour.
