Mayor Tracey Roberts said it was important to take time out to thank these dedicated community members, and show gratitude for their commitment.

“The City would not be the welcoming and friendly place it is without the efforts of our invaluable volunteers,” Mayor Roberts said.

“We are proud and humbled by the continued commitment our volunteers provide to our residents, and events like these give us a chance to acknowledge their outstanding service,” she said.

“On behalf of our residents, I would like to extend a very big thank you to each volunteer who gives their time so selflessly, making a lasting difference to our community.”

The City has nearly more than 500 active volunteers, including the 77 volunteers in heritage and libraries.
