Several people gathering around tables talking and looking festive

To thank our emergency management volunteers for their hard work this year and say farewell to Selwyn Civil Defence Emergency Management Advisor, Sue Jenkins, a Christmas celebration was held on Thursday 5 December at the Tai Tapu Community Centre.

Sue was a recent recipient of New Zealand Police’s Certificate of Appreciation, which was awarded for her 12 years of outstanding service and commitment to the Selwyn community.

Councillor Grant Miller on behalf of Mayor Sam Broughton thanked the crowd for their selfless voluntary acts. Unfortunately, not all volunteers could attend the event, due to immediate help being needed at the Bridge Hill fire which started near Craigieburn earlier that day.
