Celebrating CAB's fabulous volunteers!
π A couple of our volunteers missed our special Volunteer Week presentation a few weeks ago.
Board Chair, Richard - also a volunteer - seen here smiling happily out of each photo presented the last of the certificates yesterday.
So top first and left to right, we have:
Vani: Certificate of Appreciation: For providing outstanding Community network meetings and workshops and compiling editorials for Solutions column for Times Magazine.
Linda: Volunteer of the Year Award 2025: Citizens Advice Bureau (Manukau-Eastern) awards this certificate in recognition of her outstanding contribution as a current Board Member, 3 years as a Bureau Interviewer and highly valued Social Media Skills.
Jennifer: Certificate of Appreciation: For outstanding support to the Peer Review team and assisting interviewers to maintain a high level of quality of service to clients.
Each year we present a few certificates to recognise volunteers who have made an outstanding contribution. These get spread around the volunteers from year to year. All of our volunteers are absolute stars!
Congratulations again to all of our fantastic volunteers!
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? π»π¨π
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
37.9% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
62.1% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, weβre a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature β and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
π Riddle me this, legends! π
He/She who makes it, sells it.
He/She who buys it, doesn't use it.
The user doesn't know they are using it.
What is it?
(Shezz from NgΔruawΔhia kindly provided this head-scratcher ... thanks, Shezz!)
