Online Content Publisher from Whangarei District Council

Here's a nice thought: Who in your life deserves special recognition for their service to the Whangārei community?

Every year up to four citizens are honoured for outstanding voluntary service at a special Civic Honours Awards Ceremony at Semenoff Stadium.

Civic Honours Awards are our chance to acknowledge the people that make a difference. Do you have someone coming to mind?

Nominations have been EXTENDED until the 1st of June this year. Start here:
