2019 Community Awards

The Hurunui District Council would like to congratulate the recipients of this year’s Hurunui Community Awards, including those who received community service awards and those who received heritage and environmental funding.

The recipients were presented with their awards on Wednesday 03 July at a ceremony officiated by Mayor Winton Dalley in the Omihi Hall.

The annual awards are presented to members of the community in recognition of hard work and exceptional service. Nominations are sought on an annual basis, mid-year, via advertising.

Mayor Winton Dalley stressed the value of community and volunteers while officiating at the ceremony.

We strongly believe our communities are all the richer for the hard work, kindness and dedication of tonight’s recipients”.

“The amazing personal contributions they have made are an inspiration to us all”.
