VICTORIA – Three South Asians are among the 14 people from around British Columbia who will receive the Province’s Medal of Good Citizenship for their outstanding service and commitment to helping others in their communities.
Zeeshan Hayat of Vancouver, Fawzan Hussain of Surrey and Farouq Manji of Richmond will receive the 2021 Medal of Good Citizenship, which recognizes individuals who, through exceptional dedication and service, have made outstanding contributions to their communities without expectation of remuneration or reward.
“This important honour recognizes people who have gone above and beyond to offer help and kindness to others during these exceptionally challenging times,” said Premier John Horgan. “The latest recipients of the Medal of Good Citizenship make our province a better place through their contributions and provide an example we can all aspire to meet in our communities.”
