The Order of the Dogwood was the province of British Columbia's biggest award for people who did important things. It was the biggest award from 1966 to 1989. 13 people became members of the Order of the Dogwood. In 1989, it was replaced with the Order of British Columbia. The last person to become a member was Terry Fox in 1980.
People who got the award were given a gold medal. It had a dogwood flower on one side, and British Columbia's coat of arms on the other.[1]
