One of BC’s favorite sons has received The Order of British Columbia! Ryan Reynolds was given the honour at a private ceremony in Vancouver.
Receiving the Order of British Columbia is the honour of a lifetime. I could have been born anywhere but I had the dumb and incredible luck to be made in Vancouver. **Contrary to my earlier belief, the award is NOT a political appointment.** It’s merely symbolic and holds no real power.
To that end, I may have made some promises to several folks working at Minerva’s restaurant in Kerrisdale – as well as Tyler who works in the produce section at Safeway on 4th and Vine. Grouse Mountain will never be a giant slip ‘n slide. Mountains don’t work that way. I shouldn’t have mentioned it much less commissioned detailed CAD drawings. Nor can I make the Vancouver Art Gallery my personal residence. That’s another overreach. Apologies to the gallery staff for any misunderstanding this morning. It isn’t “happy hour somewhere”. You have a job to do and I was out of line. ❤️🇨🇦❤️
Thank you, @lgjanetaustin and @davidebybc and everybody on the OBC selection committee. Also, huge thanks to my three older brothers, Patrick, Terry and Jeff as well as my mom, Tammy… we’re always there for each other. No matter what. Love you.
p.s. Being home for 24 hours made my life 10,000 hours better. 🇨🇦🇨🇦
