Officials Honour Roll

BC Athletics Officials Awards

As part of the recognition program for officials, BC Athletics provides 4 annual awards to Officials. The Officials Committee assists with the nomination process. The Committee may also make recommendations to BC Athletics for the Hall of Fame, and may send nominations to the National Officials Committee for the "NOC Official of the Year" and Athletics Canada "Wall of Honour". The table below is the historical record of awards given to BC Athletics officials. The year listed is the year for which the award is given. The award ceremony is usually the following January. Note: starting 2021, the awards were expanded to include both a male and female recipient.

NOC Service Pins are awarded to officials to recognize the number of years of volunteer service. The pins are awarded on application from the Provincial Branch. Our records for officials start dates are shaky. The year of the award may be "retrospective", a belated recognition of many years service.
