New citizens welcomed

Hauraki District council welcomed a new cohort of New Zealand citizens to the region and country on May 29. The celebration recognised those who have undergone the process to become naturalised citizens of New Zealand. 

There were 19 people welcomed at the ceremony, where they affirmed their allegiance to New Zealand before being awarded their citizenship certificates. Mayor Toby Adams was there to conduct the official proceedings.
