·     Marceline Moody; Orff Specialist with the Victoria Conservatory of Music 

·     Robert Milne; lawyer with JB Lawyers and Past President of Pacific Opera.

Award recipients have demonstrated outstanding service or personal achievements for the betterment of the community.

The Honorary Citizen Award was established in 1970 as “an official recognition of persons who had, over time, served the city meritoriously in any walk of life, often in a volunteer capacity and without recognition.” They are presented every four years.

Public nominations were reviewed by a selection committee that made recommendations for Council’s consideration.

A formal awards ceremony is planned for Dec. 2.
