British Columbia's National Award for Canadian Non-fiction was a Canadian literary award.[1] Awarded annually since 2005 by the British Columbia Achievement Foundation,[2] it was the largest non-fiction prize in Canada, rising from $25,000 in its initial years to $40,000 in 2008.[3] Despite being presented by a BC-based organization, the award was not limited to writers from British Columbia, and instead was open to all non-fiction work by Canadian writers.
In May 2018, the British Columbia Achievement Foundation announced that it was discontinuing the award as part of a process of refocusing the foundation's activities and programs.[4]
