Stratford District Council is delighted to announce the Stratford district Citizen Awards recipients for 2024. The awards recognise the district’s local champions who go above and beyond for the community.
In an awards ceremony on 6 August, Kieran Best, Gloria Corkill, Murray Fawcett, and Rawiri Mako will be presented with a Citizens Award, Ellie Brady and Achim Hanne with Youth Citizen Awards, and Peter McDonald acknowledged with an Outstanding Citizens Award.
District Mayor Neil Volzke says once again we have a remarkable group of volunteers who have made huge contributions to the wellbeing of our community.
“Acknowledging our community minded citizens is a highlight on the calendar,” says Neil. “It never gets old, it’s a privilege to meet with and learn about the people that make up the fabric of our awesome district. These are people who help make Stratford a great place to call home.”
“It’s extra special to present another Outstanding Citizen Award this year, which shows our appreciation to those in the community who have continued to go the extra mile,” says Neil.
The Stratford District Council Citizens Awards formally recognise individuals that give significant amounts of their time and energy to the Stratford community. Specifically, recipients of the award have shown leadership, inspiration, or devotion to a cause (or more), and in doing so have contributed positively to the well-being of our district and to the people who live here.
