Remember the rainbow frivolity that is now the month of MARCH? In 2024 we are building on the colourful success of our first Pride Festival 🥳🎉, with the pinnacle event being the Parade around the loop and Gaÿla vibes all afternoon by the Canopy Bridge. We are currently booking stalls and performers as well as volunteers for many other roles in order to make the day possible. Get in touch if you're keen to be involved!

Civic Honour Awards 2024

The Team from Whangarei District Council

Congratulations to Jenni Moore, Marilyn Cox, Don McDonald-Spice, and Dr George Perera; the 4 recipients of our 2024 Civic Honour Awards. A Civic Honour is the highest award we can bestow, recognising outstanding voluntary service to the community.
🏅🏅🏅🏅

Between them Dr Perera, Marilyn, Don and Jenni have served the widest needs of diverse communities - medical, social, cultural, artistic, environmental and much more. They have shown a deep understanding of people, issues, and the enormous relief and sometimes joy, that a helping hand can provide. Each is an example of the best each of us can offer to the community in our lifetime. It is a privilege to give the recognition they deserve, and we'll be telling you more about each of their stories in the coming weeks.

Do you know someone else who deserves this recognition? Nominations are now open for next year's ceremony, and must be made by 1 May 2025: www.wdc.govt.nz...
