In her Speech, Her Worship explained how the Mayor`s Awards are given a great deal of serious consideration, and decisions made after much deliberation. Awards are given to those who go above and beyond, to serve others at a time of need, or just selflessly give of their time without asking for anything in return. These are lives’ champions.
This is an occasion that is very much looked forward to by the community on the whole; a community she is honoured to represent.
