Residents receive awards for effort Each year two schemes recognise the support and contributions made by residents in the Fendalton-Waimairi Community Board area. Community Service Awards Certificates are awarded to individuals or groups in recognition of voluntary service given which benefits residents or organisations with the Fendalton-Waimairi community. The areas of services include youth activities, aged, education, welfare, recreation, religious and community development. Nominations are being sought through until the end of July. The awards will be presented at a Board-hosted function in September. Garden Awards The Community Pride Garden Awards acknowledge the contribution made to the garden-city image of Christchurch by many private residential properties. Gardens are selected for these awards as part of the annual street competition in December and January. This is a partnership between the City Council and the Christchurch Beautifying Association. The Board presents certificates to the owners of the gardens selected in acknowledgement of the effort and contribution made in maintaining the garden-city image. |
