VICTORIA - The exceptional accomplishments of B.C.'s Lower Mainland public service employees were recognised with the annual Premier's Innovation and Excellence Awards.
"I would like to thank each of the recipients for their dedication. Their efforts and innovations have sparked changes that improve the lives of people living in the Lower Mainland and ultimately benefit all British Columbians," said Premier Clark.
Public service employees were recognized for creating new and better ways of providing services, including a team that reaches out to help at-risk youth and connect them with programs and resources, helping keep them safe and prevent crime. Another team provides an integrated testing program to find and treat HIV-infected British Columbians. The Vancouver Drug Court Treatment and Resource Centre was recognized for its success in reducing drug-related criminal activity among program graduates. And through the leadership of an employee at the Ministry of Social Development, staff were able to better serve a high volume of clients.
"The employees recognised today demonstrate that the public service fosters employees who push to achieve superior delivery of the services British Columbians rely on," said Finance Minister Kevin Falcon.
John Dyble, Deputy Minister to the Premier, announced the award winners via a streaming online video presentation. Similar webcasts will honour Northern, Interior and Vancouver Island employees. The final celebration will take place in Victoria at a provincial awards ceremony.
This year, more than 300 employees and teams from the Lower Mainland region were celebrated for outstanding achievement and received awards in five categories including: Cross Government Integration, Innovation, Partnership, Organizational Excellence, and Leadership.
