Celebrated citizens

The faces on the wall at Lees Corner.

THE Derwent Valley’s citizens of the year for 2016 will be named at the Australia Day celebrations at the Derwent Esplanade in New Norfolk later today.  Mayor Martyn Evans will make the announcements shortly after noon today. Events on the Esplanade will get under way at 10am with the start of the annual fun run and walk.

Meanwhile the Derwent Valley Council has also been celebrating the contribution of local volunteers by featuring their faces on the wall at Lees Corner in High St. Community groups such as service clubs and emergency services were invited to nominate members to be photographed and a selection of these went up on the wall just before Christmas.

The following people were the first batch selected for the wall. Most of them represent more than the single organisation listed under their photo below.
