Who will be our Citizen of the Year?

20th Jan 2026

Trevor Tarrant
Trevor is a local livestock carrier who has served the Guyra district for 53 years. Trevor, backed by his wife Deidre, has always supported the Guyra community. Each year Trevor donates his time and trucks to help at local events. This involves carting loads of sheep for the shearing competition at the Guyra Show and many loads of cattle for the annual Campdraft event held in November. It is acts of generosity such as these that make these events such a success. Trevor was honoured this year by having his name placed on the National Road Transport Museum’s Wall of Fame in Alice Springs. Trevor would be a worthy Guyra Citizen of the Year.
Gladys Wilson
A long term resident of Guyra, ‘Our Glad’ is a great ambassador for all things Guyra. As she walks everywhere she always greets everyone with a smile and a cheery greeting, whether the person is local or just visiting Guyra. She promotes Guyra in a warm and friendly way that is inviting to all. Gladys is a life member of the Guyra Lamb and Potato Festival Committee and is known to support many activities and functions organised by associations and organisations in the town. Her own elegant writing is supportive of Guyra and district and broadcasts her love for this area she calls home. Her life experience is reflected in her poetry that she is happy to share and is now published.
Leigh Ramage
Over many years Leigh has contributed to sporting and community organisations of the Guyra district. Among the many groups she has served are the Tenterden Tennis Club, the Guyra Delta Club, Guyra Playgroup and Guyra Central School Mothers Club.

David Kanaley
David has been nominated for his ‘massive’ amount of community work over recent years.
In July 2025 he was made a Paul Harris Fellow in recognition of his enormous contribution to the Rotary Club of Guyra in his role as Project Manager for the Rotary Community Hall restoration project.
He has made a significant contribution to the Guyra Community generally through the Guyra Garden Club and projects such as the Mandala Garden, and volunteering at St Vincent de Paul.
