Waimakariri's veteran Civil Defence volunteers recognised
Three of Waimakariri’s veteran Civil Defence volunteers – including a father-daughter duo – have been recognised for completing more than a decade of service each.
Regional emergency management adviser Peter Cameron presented Mike Bryce, Nikita Bryce and district councillor Kirstyn Barnett with the Ministry of Civil Defence 10-year Long Service Award at a special ceremony hosted at a Civil Defence Cadet camp in Glentui in July.
All three recipients have responded to a variety of emergencies across the South Island, including earthquakes, fires and flooding events.
Congratulations Mike, Nikita and Kirstyn!
