Canberra Gold Awards

The Chief Minister’s Canberra Gold Awards celebrate people and groups who have made Canberra their long-term home. The awards recognise the contributions made by people who have been in Canberra for 50 years or more. Their contributions to our community can be big or small.

The Canberra Gold Awards are held each year as part of Canberra's birthday celebrations. Individuals will receive a pin and a certificate. Groups will receive a certificate.
