The Order of British Columbia was established in 1989 to recognize
and honour ordinary citizens who have made a difference in the
lives of others. Goody Niosi offers the stories of 17 of these
recipients, from well-known people like Rick Hansen and Robert
Bateman to lesser-known heroes, including Dr. Michael
O'Shaughnessy, who has dedicated his life to AIDS research; Joan
Acosta, who created the revolutionary newspaper "The Westcoast
Reader" and helped adults acquire literacy and language skills; and
Ric Careless, who has worked hard to ensure that precious
wilderness areas are protected for future generations. Also
showcased are Geraldine Braak, Dr. Leonel Perra, Dr. A. Hayward
Rogers, Dr. Roger Tonkin, Grace Nielson, Hilda Gregory, Mel Cooper,
Richard Hunt, Ross Purse, Takao Tanabe, Tim Frick and Merve
Wilkinson. The foreword is written by former Supreme Court Justice
Allan McEachern.
