Officials Honour Roll

BC Athletics Officials Awards

The BC Athletics Officials Committee is responsible for 4 Annual Awards. The Committee may also make recommendations to BC Athletics for the BCA Hall of Fame, and may send nominations to the National Officials Committee for the "NOC Official of the Year." Nominations for the Athletics Canada "Wall of Honour" may also come from the Officials Committee. The table below is the historical record of awards given to BCA officials. The year given is the year for which the award is given. The award ceremony is usually the following January.

Notes on the Awards

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.
