Mrs Mary Lee received her insignia as a Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit this morning at Government House Wellington, for her services to snow sports and tourism. Mary and her husband, Mr John Lee, developed Cardrona Ski Field, Snow Park, and the Snow Farm – New Zealand's only dedicated cross-country ski-field – and continue to make significant, often voluntary, contributions across New Zealand's snow sports community. Ten other recipients were acknowledged this morning for their outstanding contributions across the diverse fields of racing, health, military history, meteorology, philanthropy, music, the community, sport, and defense.
Warmest congratulations to all of today's recipients. This round of King's Birthday Honours investiture ceremonies continue next week in Wellington.
