A total of 13 volunteers from the region were honoured with awards by the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board last month.
The local board awards are held every second year, but were interrupted last year by Covid-19 lockdowns, so the presentation held at Estuary Arts Centre on June 29 was the first since 2018.
The recipients are nominated by the groups they work with and come from a range of sectors, such as arts, environment, residents and ratepayer groups and education.
Local recipients were: Pauline Smith and Paul Wilkinson, both from Hibiscus Coast Forest & Bird, Maree Johnston from Shakespear Open Sanctuary Society, Estuary Arts Centre’s Cori Tipton, Jon Goldie and Myka Copeland of Ōrewa Surf Lifesaving, Connie Tito of Love Soup, Friends of Okura Bush chair Lezette Reid, Ray Urban of Ōrewa Bowling Club, Andrea Hegan of Silverdale Pony Club and Lynn Dewar of North Shore Riding for the Disabled in Stillwater.
