Stratford District Council is delighted to announce the Stratford district Citizen Awards recipients for 2025. The awards recognise the district’s local champions who go above and beyond for the community.

In an awards ceremony on 5 August, John McBride, Donn Buchanan, Donna van den Beuken and Glenys Campbell will be presented with a Citizen Award, while Justin Salisbury and Tatjana Hanne will be given Youth Citizen Awards.

District Mayor Neil Volzke says he’s not surprised to once again have a great group of community champions to celebrate in 2025.

“We know there are many people who have made huge contributions to the wellbeing of our community, and this year’s recipients continue to reflect that community spirit,” says Neil.​

“It’s a privilege to meet with and learn about the people that make up the fabric of the Stratford district, and to show our support for the good work they do for others. These are people who help make Stratford a great place to live, work and play.”

The Stratford District Council Citizens Awards formally recognise individuals that give 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.
