The PGA of British Columbia is pleased to announce regional award recipients in 11 categories of the 2021 PGA of BC Awards Program.
The individuals and facilities listed below for the Lower Mainland, Kootenays/Northern BC, Interior and Vancouver Island, respectively, were selected as regional recipients following an open nomination period and extensive deliberations by regional nomination committees.
Each of the recipients are now provincial finalists for this year’s PGA of BC Awards, with the honourees to be announced next month. Provincial award recipients will also be put forward as the PGA of BC’s nominee for corresponding PGA of Canada national awards where applicable, if eligible.
PGA of BC members will have an opportunity to vote for their preferred candidate in each category to assist in identifying this year’s provincial recipients. The results of the membership vote will be considered alongside determinations made by a Final Selection Committee consisting of past PGA of BC provincial award recipients.
