The Order is the province’s highest honour, recognizing individuals who have made a significant and lasting contribution to their communities and to Alberta. Members include Olympians, scientists, farmers, volunteers, business leaders, educators and artists whose work has helped shape the province.
Since its establishment in 1979, 229 Albertans have been invested into the Alberta Order of Excellence.
Nominations are accepted year-round, but must be received by Feb. 15 to be considered for investiture this year.
Nominees must be Canadians citizens currently residing in Alberta and, if selected, must be able to attend the investiture ceremony. Individuals may not 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.
