2026 Land Awards

Every two years, the Land Awards celebrate leadership in sustainable, equitable, and socially just land use and real estate across BC.

Created by the Real Estate Foundation of BC (REFBC) in 2010, the Land Awards recognize outstanding projects and remarkable leaders that protect the lands and waters we love and create sustainable, inclusive, and resilient communities.

There are five categories for projects:

• Land Use and Conservation
• Fresh Water
• Built Environment
• Food Sovereignty
• Real Estate

There are two categories for individuals:

• Land Champion
• Emerging Leader

Winners and finalists are selected by judging committees composed of community leaders and subject-matter experts, supported by REFBC Governors and staff. The awards are presented at the Land Awards Gala, a night of camaraderie, revelry, and inspiration.

Nominations are now open for the 2026 Land Awards! Submit your nomination by March 5, 2026.
