Council rewards civically minded citizens
Decades of work with youth movements; support for victims of crime; and work with young Maori are among the many ways
Christchurch citizens have earned a Civic Award this year.
Mayor Garry Moore recently presented 33 individuals and organisations with a 2002 Civic Award recognising their
contributions to the welfare of the city.
At the ceremony in the Christchurch City Council chambers, each recipient was given a medallion and certificate in front
of invited guests that included family and friends.
The annual awards are made to people or organisations, who have served the city in a voluntary capacity for a number of
years. Work has usually been done in the areas of recreation, youth activities, social welfare, educational services,
cultural affairs, religious affairs and community affairs.
