 I would now like to call on Mr. Jeremy Brownridge, private secretary to the Lieutenant Governor and Executive Director of Government House to introduce each recipient and read their citations. Could I please ask you to withhold your applause until the end of each individual presentation? Mr. Brownridge. Good afternoon, everybody. I'm delighted, and it is with a certain degree of humility that I read the citations today. First, I call on Janet Austin Vancouver. The CEO of one of the province's largest non-profit organizations and the former chair of the Greater Vancouver Board of Trade, Janet Austin has reached the highest level of achievement in both the social and business sectors.

Over the past decade, Janet has spearheaded community-focused initiatives at the YWCA, expanding its geographic and social reach in order to increase access to affordable housing for low-income single mothers and women leaving abusive relationships, supporting youth in foster care to transition to independence and broadening services for marginalized women in Vancouver's downtown Eastside.

The Tuasson First Nation treaty negotiations are recognized as a model for effective negotiations throughout Canada and indeed the world. Much sought after as a motivational speaker, Kim makes herself available to any and all seeking advice on First Nations.

Over its 30-plus-year history, Spirit of the West has been recognized as a pioneer in Canadian Celtic music, having toured extensively in Europe, the United States, and across Canada. With nearly 300 recorded songs, one in particular, Home for a Rest, has become a multi-generational favorite, known by millions, and often called Canada's unofficial national anthem. The band's song lyrics resonate deeply with individual experience in John's distinctive voice as the band's trademark. John's contributions to charity are remarkable, especially considering the great challenges he's faced in his own life. A cancer survivor, Mann worked actively with the BC Cancer Agency, and BC Cancer Foundation. In 2014, John announced that he had early-onset Alzheimer's disease, and for two more years, up until April of 2016, the band continued to perform together with John courageously staying fully involved in contributing to society's awareness of Alzheimer's disease. He now donates his time and talents to the Alzheimer's societies in BC and in Ontario. He's also done charitable work assisting orphan children in Swaziland.

Thousands of children, teens, and adults throughout British Columbia have attended her comprehensive body science workshops, tailored to reflect her firm belief that every person, regardless of race, religion, age, ability, gender identity, gender expression, or sexual attraction, deserves respect. She arms young children with knowledge and skills to keep their body safe and empowers parents to share positive, meaningful messages about sexuality with their children at every age. Salima also created BC's first empowerment workshop for preteen girls, Go Girl in 1999, which became Eye Girl, tackling topics such as body image, media literacy, gender stereotypes, internet safety, consent, healthy relationships, and assertiveness skills. Eye Guy launched in 2014, challenges society's definition of masculinity to help boys have healthy relationships, express their emotions, and make smart decisions online. Salima's recently created Salima Noon Empowerment Foundation aims to sponsor body science, Eye Girl, and Eye Guy workshops at more schools. Committed to growth and success of others in the field, she has voluntarily trained, mentored, and inspired many. Salima co-authored the book Talk Sex Today, which will be released in the summer of this year. Your honor, Madam Premier, for the Order of British Columbia, I present Salima Noon.

Her green roof design of the Visitor's Center at the Van Dues and Botanical Garden answers to the issues of climate change, environmental responsibility, and the living building challenge. Cornelia is the recipient of many honorary degrees, the Order of Canada, several Lifetime Achievement Awards, honorary memberships, medals and fellowships in Canada, and abroad. Your Honor, Madam Premier, for the Order of British Columbia, I present Cornelia Hahn Oberlander. I'm now delighted to call upon Pauline Rafferty of Victoria. Pauline Rafferty became recognized as one of Canada's leading executives in the cultural sector as she transformed the Royal BC Museum into one of the premier museums of its kind around the globe. As chief executive officer, Pauline revitalized the museum, widened its accessibility, and enhanced its reputation as she brought world-class exhibits and a business focus to the institution.

I call on Robert Robinson of Vancouver. Oh, he's doing just fine. Robert Red Robinson is a well-known broadcaster who has used his public recognition to support and promote many fundraising initiatives. Red began his career as a 16-year-old high school disc jockey and grew to be the most-awarded radio entertainment performer in the history of British Columbia.

Following medical school in Toronto, he came to BC for his residency in 1989 and has remained here. As medical director of the BC Liver Transplant Program, he found a way for patients with hepatitis B to have successful liver transplants and established the first program in Canada to allow HIV patients to have liver transplantation. He discovered that BC's First Nations communities suffered disproportionately from primary biliarious cirrhosis and autoimmune liver disease, destroying the stereotype that alcoholic liver disease was the problem and clearing the way for First Nations patients to undergo liver transplantation. He's an outstanding teacher, committing many hours to convey the sophisticated knowledge of hepatology and hepatitis to medical trainees of all levels. He's worked with success, a large multicultural social agency to bring its clients awareness that hepatitis is a silent disease until the latter stage and early diagnosis is critical.

He's received many awards including the Diamond, the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal, and the Clinical Excellence Award from the Vancouver General Hospital. Your Honor, Madam Premier, for the Order of British Columbia, I present Eric Yoshida. Ladies and gentlemen, these are the 2016 inductees to the Order of British Columbia. What an outstanding group of British Columbians because we give them one more round of applause. Thank you. And thank you, Jeremy. It's a very great honor for me to welcome you all to Government House, our ceremonial home, for this most prestigious event of the year. C'est un très grande honneur de vous souhaiter à la bienvenue en cette maison historique à notre province. And we're better to celebrate the highest honor that the province bestows than in this beautiful location, which stands today on the traditional territory of the Esquimalt and Songhi's First Nations of the Coast Salish people, whose wisdom, traditions and customs handed down through untold centuries, we also honor. Today's ceremony is another step in building our shared history. This past year, I've continued to travel to countless valleys as part of my quest in this five-year journey to visit every valley. And believe me, the diversity, the beauty and uniqueness of each area never ceases to amaze me. When I see the music, the arts performed in places like Powell River, Vernon and Prince George, the museums and parks and Tumblr Ridge and Haida Gwai and everywhere, the incredible multiculturalism and vibrant young people, I am so impressed. But what I've learned above all else is this, that in every corner of this province, it is the exceptional character, determination and caring of the people who live in these valleys that has made British Columbia the outstanding place that it is today. This investiture recognizes 16 of these exceptional individuals for their outstanding achievements in many different arenas. Their hard work, determination and generosity of spirit have contributed immeasurably to the success of communities in every valley. We thank the members of the Independent Advisory Council, chaired by Chief Justice Robert Bowman and including all those that are here today and those that couldn't be with us. Thank you so much. I can only barely imagine the difficulty of the task you have that you face when you look over all of the applications and nominations. Thank you for your dedication to the integrity of the process on our behalf. As I reviewed the biographies of today's honorees and read about their outstanding accomplishments and countless ways in which they've helped to make this province and indeed the world a better place, I was again humbled. Certain common words and themes appear repeatedly in their biographies, whether they achieved in the field of athletics, the arts, business, education, the environment, healthcare or service. In their histories you repeatedly hear that they are outstanding educators, they are mentors, champions for change, innovation and creativity. If I were to attempt to sum up the lives and contributions of today's honorees, I would label them as diligent champions, diligent. Not a word that you come across today often except in legal interpretations, but a word that portrays persistence, tirelessness, dedication, determination and perhaps even a measure of obstinacy thrown in. It's possibly this resolve, which is a kind of word for stubbornness, that has caused these individuals to persist as they develop new technologies or institutions, as they push themselves and others to peak physical performance, champion the cause in order to improve life for others or work to bring people together to create synergies that produce positive results. It's this determination to improve the quality of life for others that has built the quality of life that we in this province are so privileged to enjoy. As we look around the world as much turmoil, electronic communication means that we have instant information, but I fear that it does not mean we are more connected. I am reminded of the time my late husband flew a big game outfitter to one of his outposts in the Yukon. On arrival, he discovered someone had helped themselves to his equipment. He immediately requested transportation back to Whitehorse where he directly challenged a known competitor and requested that he return his belongings to their proper place by that evening or else. In small communities, we tend to know our enemies and can confront them and hold them accountable. It is often said that it takes a village to raise a child. Perhaps it is more correctly stated that it takes community to sustain peace and stability. The people we honor today are community builders. It's important to thank their families and loved ones who are here today as well because we know that without your support, our recipients would have had to struggle in many ways and you too have helped building this smart and caring community. As direct representative of our monarch Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II of British Columbia, I congratulate and thank you. Thank you for inspiring us with what you have done not only for all of us today, but to build community and to improve the future for generations to come. As your Chancellor, I am deeply honored to welcome all of you to the Order of British Columbia. Thank you. Thank you, our recipients. Father, hand in your remarks, you talked a little bit about, you talked a lot about love. And I want to, it reminded me of a story, a priest, our priest was telling us in church not long ago about one of the children of love, which is forgiveness. He talked about how no matter what we've done in our lives, no matter how many mistakes we've made, God's forgiveness, the door to his grace is always open no matter what we've done. And my 15-year-old son leaned over in the pew and said, I sure bet you're glad to hear that, eh, mom? Yeah. Yeah. And of course, you don't need a 15-year-old son to remind you to be humble, because in this job and for all of us here, we have this event every year to attend, to meet the recipients of the Order of British Columbia, who have accomplished such a remarkable amount for our province, our country, and for the world. If there is a humbling moment, it must be today for all the rest of us as we sit in your august company and hear about what it is you've accomplished. A young woman who job-shouted me, asked me, she was frustrated because all her life that her parents and television and Oprah had been telling her to find her passion. And she said, I haven't found my passion. My answer to that comes from Victor Frankel, who wrote a book called Man's Search for Meaning. In it, he says, life is not about us. It is not about what we want. We should not ask life what it intends for, what we intend for ourselves, but we should ask our lives what the world wants from us. And each of our recipients today, although each of them undoubtedly had a calling, decided that they would answer the world's call, to answer life's call, and to step up and make a tremendous difference. And each of you in your various fields, some of you fighting for the vulnerable people who have no voice, some of you fighting for a better place for women and girls in our society, some of you making sure that we remember the past, that it is so essential for our society that First Nations built before Europeans came, and some of you building a future for First Nations that is entirely different, a future that is bright. Some of you who have gone out and created employment for thousands of people, and then taken that wealth and turned it into doing good around the world. Some of you have decided to start saving lives and doing good and turned that into creating jobs and employment for people in our province. Some of you who have given voice through the arts, through our history, have given voice to our collective narrative so we remember who we are, and we are always connected through our music, through writing, through remembering our history. Some of you who proven that broadcasters can get somewhere in life, and some of you who have devoted your lives to sports, healthy living, some of you who have made sure that we are celebrating the diversity of our community. Each of you, most of all, is an example for our children. And for me, the most important thing about the Order of British Columbia and your selection today, if I may be so bold, is to say, and you know this, it isn't about you. It is about the example that you set and in holding you up as something to look to for our children, we remind them that in a world where we watch reality television and we see Republican conventions, and all we seem to see is people being unkind, that the ultimate purpose in our lives is that other child of love, which is kindness. And each of you is an example for our children of how by being kind, by giving love, and by doing good, we get more back than we give. So thank you for your example. You have built our province, you have made it better, and in setting an example for another generation of British Columbians, you will allow them to strive, to do good, to be kind, and to give love. Thank you and congratulations.
