Biography

Celia was Mayor of Wellington for six years and a Councillor for 14 years. Born in London, UK, she has travelled extensively in Europe, Asia and the Pacific. Celia co-founded Walk Wellington in 1998 and Living Streets Aotearoa in 2002. She walks, cycles, catches buses and trains, drives and kayaks.
