FROM THE MAYOR'S DESK
In 1955, just four years before I was born, our modern form of citizenship ceremony was introduced.
The history of New Zealand citizenship has been on my mind since Friday, when we held our first
in-person Citizenship Ceremony since pre-Covid-19 times.
Officiating at these ceremonies is always a highlight for the council calendar, and the 41 new citizens on Friday were as delighted as I was to be celebrating in person rather than in isolation.
