Civic and Community Awards showcase volunteerism on the Kāpiti Coast

Published 19 Jul 2019

Volunteer groups and individuals gathered in the Council Chambers last night for the annual Kāpiti Coast Civic and Community Awards.

Kāpiti Coast District Mayor K Gurunathan says the awards recognise and celebrate the people who make Kāpiti a great place to live.

“All year round these people work tirelessly to elevate, support and throw their arms around their communities through volunteerism on so many different levels and in so many different ways. We are very fortunate to have so many incredible people in our community.

“It’s an honour to host these awards on behalf of the Kāpiti Coast Community, Wellington Airport and Wellington Community Trust.”

Mayor K Gurunathan presented the Civic Awards. Six groups received a Wellington Airport Regional Community Award and six more groups were acknowledged as highly commended.

The Civic Awards recognise those who have contributed to the community through hard work or who have exceptional achievements as individuals in their chosen field.  Sue Lusk, Peter Handford, Angelo Robinson, and Rosanne Litchford received this year’s Civic Awards.
