Get Active 2020
Waipā District Libraries Get Active campaign is on again!
We're encouraging Waipā residents to Get Active - with some incentives along the way.
The campaign, Get Active 2020, will run from 14 September to 14 November.
You can collect an activity passport from your library from Friday 11 September.
The passport contains all the information you will need to collect stamps for your passport. Stamps can be collected by attending library events and events/classes at participating providers. Details are inside the passport and included below with more information and links.
Major prizes can be won at each library, with incentive prizes along the way (drawstring bags and drink bottles). Our thanks to our sponsors Club Waipa in Te Awamutu and Anytime Fitness Cambridge. Both are also providing classes which can earn vouchers/stamps.
Anyone who wishes to participate is encouraged to register (right) so that they can receive class reminders and updates to the programme or providers.

Open to Waipa residents.
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.8% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.8% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
