New Artists welcome for 2022
Whangarei Heads Arts Trail 2022
The past 2 years have been a difficult time for events of every sort and our own Whangarei Heads Arts Trail is no exception. 2020 saw the event cancelled but 2021 saw it bounce back, managed by Creative Northland, with a fantastic turn out from both local artists and visitors supporting the event. As the population of The Heads continues to grow we are delighted to find more new artists joining us each year. It's amazing to see the diversity and quality of work that is produced right on our own Whangarei doorstep.
W.H.A.T society is always ready to welcome new local members to the society and new guests to the Easter Arts Trail. We are an inclusive society happy to embrace work in all media and at all levels of skill. Our single most important requirement is that work is made by the artist/creator here in NZ. If you would like to know more about the Easter Arts Trail or our society please drop a line, we'd love to hear from you. And, to all of our great Whangarei community a big 'Thank You' for your continued support for the event. Please don't forget that if you are looking for unique Christmas gifts many of our Artists are happy to sell work direct from their studio so please check out their contact details on our web site and give them a call.
Fingers firmly crossed now for a supper summer free of restrictions and a fabulous Easter Arts Trail to look forward to.

Changing the conversation around dementia
Reducing stigma starts with the words we use, and shifting the way we talk about dementia is a powerful step forward. This World Alzheimer’s Month, Ryman is highlighting the importance of reducing the discrimination caused by stigma surrounding people living with dementia.
Caroline Bartle, Ryman’s Dementia Care and Innovations Lead, says that using appropriate language when referring to people with Alzheimer’s and other types of dementia can foster a more inclusive society. This not only benefits those experiencing cognitive decline but also their families and the wider community.

Walking your dog or your dog walking you in Tikipunga
Here are two great places to take your pooch out and about in Tikipunga - Beasley Park and the Hatea River walk.
Beasley Park, Tikipunga
Beasley Park is a suburban park close to Beazley Crescent. It is a calm place to play off-leash with a good variety of shade, sun, slopes and flat spaces. It is a quiet neighbourhood park with an interesting central waterway to explore.
Hātea River Walk
The Hatea River walkway is a dog-friendly place for on-leash exploring, with a forested walkway passing through several parks and suburbs starting from Otuihau/Whangārei Falls in Tikipunga and leading all the way to the central city at Riverside (about 6 kilometres)
There are well-established pathways (your dog must stay on leash and stick to the paths). Expect lots of passing foot-traffic - including kids.
Take a picnic, a ball, or other park activities. You will need to take rubbish home with you.
Sir John Key thinks lying and corruption is okay
I thought he was better than that. This - www.stuff.co.nz... - is what he said.
He objects to Harris because she supports schemes such as health care and instead supports someone who thought drinking bleach was a cure for covid.
