Awards recognise contributions made by residents

The Board has two schemes through which it annually recognises the support and contributions made by local residents.

Community Service Awards

Certificates are awarded each year to individuals or groups in recognition of voluntary service given which benefits residents or organisations within the Fendalton/Waimairi community.

The areas of service include youth activities, aged, education, welfare, recreation, religious and community development.

Community Pride Garden Awards

The Community Pride Garden Awards is an initiative to 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, and is a partnership between the Christchurch City Council and the Christchurch Beautifying Association.

The assessments are undertaken each year and are separate to the Beautifying Associations annual awards for which entries are invited by the Association.
