THE 2013 Living Legends were unveiled at the Mayor’s
cocktail function earlier this year.
Each year, Council seeks to recognise through
its Living Legends program, local people
who have contributed greatly to the local
community and local organisations, and have
assisted in enhancing the lives of others.
The Living Legend Awards recognise
those who have displayed remarkable
tenacity and perseverance in the face of
overwhelming odds and reward those who
have demonstrated excellence in their
chosen field of endeavour.
“There are so many outstanding people within
the Salisbury community,” said Gillian Aldridge,
Mayor of Salisbury. “They are the heartbeat
of our city and as a Council we are keen to
recognise them and the work they do to make
this region such a great place to live.

“The eight Living Legends chosen to
represent the City of Salisbury have all made
remarkable contributions to the community,
and I would like to congratulate them on
receiving their award.”
Volunteering her time for others, Bev
believes it’s the little things that add up to
make a real difference in the community.
After spending 40 years teaching, much of it
in the Salisbury area, Bev has continued to
enrich the community.
His commitment to looking out for
others is what led Colin to start his local
Neighbourhood Watch while continuing to
volunteer for a variety of organisations. Over
the past 30 years Colin has volunteered his
time in various capacities across Salisbury.
