Waimakariri and Hurunui districts moving to restricted fire season
Two Canterbury districts are moving back into a restricted fire season, as conditions change.
From 12am on Friday, the Hurunui and Waimakariri districts will change from a total fire ban to a restricted season.
North Canterbury principal rural fire officer Bruce Janes said the area was still high-risk for fires.
"In particular there are still dangerous conditions around Omihi and Cheviot and not every permit will be automatically granted.
Janes said if people wanted to light a fire, they should go to www.checkitsalright.nz... to check if they need a permit.
Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?
The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.
Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.
We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?

43.5% I want to be able to choose.

47.1% Against. I want to deal with people.
Poll: Would you take a 1.5-hour hike for a shop? 🌿🐦
Canterbury, you have a hidden treasure right on your doorstep ... though it does come with a 1.5-hour walk up the stunning Rakaia Gorge Walkway.
Along the trail you’ll find The Fantail Shop showcasing small artworks by local artisans. Even better, every purchase supports the Fantail Trust, helping protect and restore biodiversity on the north bank of the gorge.
So we’re curious: would you take a 1.5-hour hike for a shop? (And for local biodiversity, of course 🌿)

31.7% Yes!
