Thirty-four Kiwibank local heroes were presented with medals by councillor and chairperson of the Christchurch City Council’s Civic Awards sub-committee Yani Johanson as part of the 2019 New Zealander of the Year Awards ceremony. “Our region’s 34 local heroes demonstrate the acts of charity, commitment and selflessness, which is what brings communities together.
