As part of the Canberra Social Plan the ACT Government has instituted a Canberra Gold Chief Minister's Award to recognise and celebrate the commitment made by long term residents of the ACT. ACT residents who have been living in the ACT for fifty years or more, as at 12 March each year, are eligible for the Award. Any individual may nominate a person for the Award. Award recipients will be presented with a certificate. A brief family background may be attached.
The closing date for nominations is the end of December each year and Awards are presented as part of Canberra's birthday celebrations.
For more information visit the Chief Minister's Department website.
