Macedon Ranges Shire Council Mayor, Cr Jennifer Anderson congratulated all the nominees and winners in the award categories.

“These last 18 months have been tough with almost everything having to be done differently and I know that young people in the Macedon Ranges are really leading the way in adapting to all these changes. “You’ve missed out on so much that would be normal rites of passage and other things you would do but instead of just sitting there, you’ve innovated, you’ve done different things, you’ve supported one another. “That’s why it’s just so great that Council can support these awards and we get to see and hear about all the wonderful achievements of young people in the shire. It’s really, really impressive,” she said.
The awards are available to watch on Macedon Ranges Youth Facebook and Council’s website, mrsc.vic.gov.au/youth
