Order of the Diocese of British Columbia
Investiture Service
Christ Church Cathedral, Saturday, Oct. 21, 2023 at 10:30 a.m.
On October 21, Bishop Anna Greenwood-Lee will invest 23 new members and seven officers into the Order of the Diocese of British Columbia at Christ Church Cathedral.
The Order was established by Bishop Logan McMenamie as a way to honour the faithful service of the laity of the diocese. “Members” are nominated by their parish for outstanding and considerable voluntary work that has benefited their parish, while the title of “officer” is awarded to those who have not only made a significant contribution to their parish, but also to the wider church through the diocese or the Anglican Church of Canada. Honourary awards are also given in both categories to those who are not part of the diocese.
Please join us at this service as we honour this year’s Laureates who will be inducted into the Order as Members, Honorary Members, Officers or Honorary Officer of the Order. For a list of this year’s honorees, please click here.
For those travelling from a distance, we have arranged a special rate at the Inn at Laurel Point of $199 plus taxes, for the nights of Friday and Saturday, Oct. 20 and 21. Ask for the Order of the Diocese of BC special rate.
You can also watch the investiture service online, which will start at 10:30 a.m., on the cathedral website and on the diocesan website.
