Our District’s top honours for this year go to Felicity Christian, Brian Corney, Fred Tito and Steve Westgate, in recognition of their outstanding service to the community.
A Civic Honour Award is the highest honour we can bestow on a Whangārei resident. Each of these recipients has been nominated by people in their communities who have seen first-hand what they have achieved throughout their lifetime. Through tireless work, commitment and generosity of spirit, each of these nominees has made our District a better place.
Only four Civic Awards are given out each year. In a District with more than 96,000 people, receiving one of these awards is an outstanding achievement. Once again we congratulate Felicity, Brian, Fred and Steve and warmly thank them for their service to our District.
The 2022 recipients were announced at a special ceremony on 30 September with friends, family members, Mayor Sheryl Mai, councillors and local dignitaries in attendance.
📸From left to right: Fred Tito , Brian Corney, Steve Westgate and Felicity Christian.
You can nominate special people from your community for our 2023 Civic Honour awards now.
