In 2007, Chief Minister Jon Stanhope awarded 290 people Canberra Gold Awards.

The Chief Minister's Canberra Gold Award recognises the unique contribution made by individuals and groups who have chosen to make a long-term commitment to the ACT. Through this award, the ACT Government celebrates this dedication by honouring individuals and groups who have resided or operated in the ACT for fifty years or more.

Chief Minister's Canberra Gold Awards are distributed each year as part of Canberra's birthday celebrations. Award recipients will receive a certificate.

The Award is open to individuals who have lived in the ACT for fifty years or more as at 12 March each year and to those groups, businesses, clubs, societies, organisations, associations and teams who have been present in the ACT for fifty years or more as at 12 March each year.

The first Awards were made in 2005 by Chief Minister Jon Stanhope.

Nomination forms are available in all Libraries ACT branches and online.
