Each year, the British Columbia Trucking Association recognizes individuals whose leadership, professionalism, and long-standing commitment have helped strengthen our association and the motor transport industry in British Columbia. Our annual awards celebrate excellence across both the carrier and supplier communities, highlighting those who go beyond expectations to advance safety, innovation, advocacy, and industry collaboration. Below, you’ll find details on each award category and how to submit a nomination.

We’re now inviting members to submit expressions of interest for the 2026 Industry Awards. The awards will be presented at the BCTA AGM & Conference, taking place on June 4–5, 2026, at the Delta Grand Okanagan Resort in Kelowna.

Any BCTA member may submit a nomination. To nominate a fellow member, please complete the form of interest at your earliest convenience. Our team will be in touch with the next steps and additional nomination details. The deadline is April 30, 2026.
