Teresea Olsen Wellingtonian of the Year
Teresea Olsen, general manager of health and social services at Kōkiri Marae in Seaview, took out the supreme award on Thursday night to loud applause and cheers.
On receiving the supreme award, Olsen said: “For the past 40 plus years I have been helping those less fortunate in my community. If there was one wish I could have, it would be that I could have another 40 years to serve my community. It has been a pleasure. I thank you for this honour.”

Moe mai rā, Nicholas.
