a community clean up of the Kurashiki Garden in Halswell Quarry Park
Members of the Japanese community had a clean up of the Kurashiki Garden at the Quarry this morning in preparation for the Cherry Blossom festival being held there in two weeks- on Sun 22nd. We hope the weather will be a bit warmer and drier to really celebrate the day.
It's a pleasure to have Consul Mr Dabide Tsunakake there as well helping out
(don't get me wrong the maintenance team there are doing a good job, we are coming out of winter. It took less than an hour and the area looks fab 🤩 the blossoms will be wonderful this year)

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
