A day off work!
Nau mai haere mai e te tī, e te tā,
Yay, a day off work!
On the 6th of February 1840, the Treaty of Waitangi was signed by Rangatira Māori and representatives of the Crown.
2020 is the 180th anniversary of the signing of the Waitangi Treaty.
Waitangi Day gets its name from the name of the treaty document.

The public holiday falls on a Thursday this year, and there's plenty going on around Auckland. For example:

Summer Vibes North Shore Festival
Summer Vibes is the first event of its kind at Awataha Marae, which you'll find behind AUT North Shore Campus.
There will be entertainment from local and international acts, a kids' zone and the chance to learn about te reo and Waitangi.
The event is being put on in association with Auckland Council and Waitangi ki Tamaki Collective and will run from 10am until 4pm.
°
Sundown Sessions
ASB Showgrounds is being turned into an inner-city beach for Waitangi Day, complete with 100 tonnes of sand.

Poll: 🤖 What skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?
The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑

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, we’re 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 — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
