Celebrating Excellence - LG Award


About the Award

The Lieutenant Governor’s Award for Excellence in Public Administration recognizes the exceptional achievement of a person who has shown distinctive leadership in public administration in Manitoba or who, by writings or other endeavours, has made a significant contribution in the field of public administration in Manitoba. It pays tribute to public sector practitioners whose careers exhibit the highest standard of excellence, dedication, and accomplishment. The award seeks to provide recognition on an outstanding individual and to underscore the need for creative, highly skilled individuals in the public sector. The award is granted on the basis of outstanding contributions on a sustained basis rather than as a result of any single exceptional public service deed.
