Neighbours Day - NZ's biggest celebration of neighbourliness
Neighbours' Day (20-30 March 2021) is all about building new connections and holding fun, local get-togethers to meet people that live in your community.
The most popular way is an 'Over the Fence Cuppa' to get to know your neighbours a little better. Knowing the people near you strengthens our community ties, and creates safer and more resilient communities.
If you'd like to run a 'Over the Fence Cuppa' or local event and receive a goodie bag from Council to help, please email Neighbours.Day@kapiticoast.govt.nz by 17 March.
Hosts can go in to a draw to win a 105L water tank and a Grab & Go bag donated by Wellington Region Emergency Management Office (WREMO). With COVID-19 still a potential risk, in-person events will only go ahead under Alert Levels 1 and 2.

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)
