The time has come to nominate young people making a great contribution in Whangarei.
Whangarei mayor Sheryl Mai said she urged people to look around them, notice the great things young people were doing and nominate accordingly.
The recent Whangarei District Council Civic Awards recognised four citizens who have contributed
to their communities for more than 20 years.
"It is almost overwhelming to consider the huge contribution they have made to so many causes in that time. The Youth Awards are a chance to spot some of these people as they are setting out on the long paths of contribution and to recognise their leadership," Ms Mai said.
The awards were also an opportunity to catch a preview of what the Whangarei community would value in future, she said.
