Environmental Awards' Judges Visiting

Judges in this year's Christchurch City Council annual environmental awards will be out on the streets on Friday 17 August.

Judges will make an inspection of the short-listed entries before deciding on winners in three categories of the Built Environment, the Natural Environment and Services to the Environment.

For photographic purposes the judges will be at the Peterborough Centre, corner of Montreal and Peterborough streets, at 9.45am and at the Christchurch Polytechnic at 11.30am in Madras Street to view the Ian Athfield building.

This is the fourth year of the awards and the winners will be announced and presented with special medallions and certificates at a ceremony in the Our City premises, Municipal Chambers, at the corner of Oxford Terrace and Worcester Boulevard on Friday 28 September.

The awards are made by the City Council on the recommendation of the Environment Committee that is advised by a special panel.

The chairwoman of the committee, Cr. Anna Crighton, says the awards recognise outstanding contributions to the city's built, natural and services to the environment.
