2018 PARAFED CANTERBURY AWARDS
ParaFed Canterbury celebrated another successful year at their 2018 Awards Function held at the Show Gate Function Centre at Riccarton Racecourse on Saturday 1 December 2018.

Scott Martlew was named the 2018 ParaFed Canterbury Sportsperson of the Year for the very first time after his silver medal performance at the Para Canoe World Championships in August.

Ang James was awarded ParaFed Canterbury Life Membership after 17 years as an employee and joins only 13 other Cantabrians to be awarded this honour.

Over 110 guests were treated to a fantastic evening, including some onscreen highlights from the year and the world famous table quiz.

For the second year the event was sponsored by McDonald’s Canterbury, a family owned business who are a fantastic supporter of the Canterbury Community. An additional nine local businesses supported individual sports awards throughout the evening.
