At the close of the nomination period at the end of day Friday, we received more than 100 nominations for The People's Order of British Columbia.

Thanks to everyone who took the time to nominate.

We are now taking the week to review the nominees before we publish a shortlist and open the voting period.

The People's Order of B.C. is a Tyee experiment launched as a response to the controversy surrounding some of this year's winners, including Gordon Campbell, Ken Dobell and David Emerson.

Full background, here.
