I·SPARC has been awarded the Premier’s Innovation and Excellence Award in the category of Organizational Excellence along with the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture! We are honoured to accept this award and wish to thank everyone who has support and participated in I·SPARC programs.
The Premier’s Awards celebrate the best examples of innovation and excellence across the BC Public Service. They showcase the work of some of our most outstanding employees whose professionalism, dedication and innovation have made a difference in many lives and communities in B.C.
The Premier’s Awards were launched in 2004 and are held annually. In 2018 the program will be celebrating its 14th year of being the most prestigious recognition for the BC Public Service.
