Isaac Regional Council Mayor Anne Baker said the award winners are worthy recipients who play an integral part in the community and encourage a positive difference to the lives of those around them.
“We are region rich in resources, but we are also blessed with the greatest resource of all – our people,” Mayor Baker said.
“We heard about people who donate their time to bring sport, arts and culture to our region; we heard about organisations that have raised thousands for charities; we heard about young people that personify the spirit of Isaac through their passion and work; and so many more,” Cr Baker said.
