Marco Cataloni wants to focus on "getting stuff done" when it comes to looking after North Canterbury's water.

Cataloni is Environment Canterbury's (ECan) new northern zone delivery lead, aiming to find the most efficient way of managing water across the top of the region.

His role is part of a pilot project to determine whether the Waimakariri, Hurunui and Kaikōura districts should be combined into one zone when it comes to water management.

Canterbury zone committees will remain in their current form, but the proposal will have them operate alongside three larger zones covering the northern, central and southern parts of the region.​

Cantabrians are urged to start training for a 10-kilometre run-walk held in the Port Hills in February to remember those who lost their lives in the 2011 earthquake.

Entrants have just over two months to prepare for the annual Run to Remember event, where runners and walkers of all ages and abilities follow a course along the Port Hills from Victoria to Hansen Park.

Sport Canterbury chief executive Julyan Falloon says the route offers an opportunity to remember and reflect on those affected by the earthquakes. "We've all been impacted in different ways. There is no other experience where you take time to look over the city and reflect."

Tram 194 had been owned by the family of the late Leo and Jessie Holland since 1957 and was used as a holiday home.

It will now be kept on display as a holiday bach at Ferrymead Heritage Park until enough funds have been raised to restore it to working order.
