Four new citizens were officially welcomed to the Waitomo District at a citizenship ceremony yesterday.

The latest New Zealand citizens, from Samoa and the United Kingdom, were addressed by Waitomo District Mayor, John Robertson and welcomed to the district at a special ceremony on Thursday 17 October 2024.

They are Feisili and Nora Taulafo, Jake Thomas and Loraine Whitehead.

Mayor Robertson (pictured left) congratulated the new citizens and welcomed them to the district.

Citizenship Ceremonies are a special occasion to share with friends and family, and it’s always a great pleasure to be able to celebrate this occasion with our new citizens.

The ceremony is an important step in the process of becoming a New Zealand citizen, and it gives new citizens a chance to share the experience of being welcomed into our community and participate in a way that helps enrich our culture.
