Mayor's Christmas Message
Hello to you all and season’s greetings as we near the end of another year.
This year has brought its share of challenges, but it has also reminded us of the resilience and community spirit that defines Waimate. From our dedicated volunteers to our hardworking local businesses and the many individuals who contribute to making our district such a special place, I want to extend my sincere thanks.
No Shortage Of Christmas Spirit
Hundreds of community donated gifts will bring smiles to children and families throughout the Waimate District this Christmas, with Operation Christmas Child once again proving a huge success.
Mayoress Lyn Stringer, who leads the initiative in partnership with Community Link Waimate, said she was once again blown away by how many presents had been donated.
