Census

Ann from Kerikeri District

Did you know that a significant amount of Government funding is based on Census data?


Northland District Health Board is paid per unit of population.


Funds for water and sewerage subsidies and critically roading subsidies are paid on a deprivation index and population data.


For any number of reason thousands of people choose not to participate in census but this means we are missing out!


Missing out on critical funding we need to ensure that we can meet the basic needs of our community.


This is my person post to ask that we all compete the census and spread this important message so that everyone understand how critically important this is to everyone in our community.


Census date is 6 March. Thank you for reading and sharing on your networks. ☺

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
