TEN emergency services groups were represented at the second Volunteer Appreciation Evening at Mandurah Performing Arts Centre on Thursday.

Mayor Marina Vergone acknowledged the strong community spirit demonstrated by emergency service volunteers.

“Local emergency service volunteers donate their time to preserve life and property and it’s important to recognise the critical role they play in protecting our community,” she said.

“Our emergency service volunteers represent what the Mandurah spirit is about… helping others, reaching out, and giving up valuable time for the community.”
