Phillipstown murals walk.
10am 5th November
The Phillipstown Murals Walk is part of the Phillipstown Walks project.
The Phillipstown Walks is a series of free, resident-led guided walks within Phillipstown that celebrate local history and the knowledge residents hold.
This walk will focus on discovering the pieces of street art that colour the walls of many building in our neighbourhood.
This walk is organised in collaboration with Watch this Space. Reuben Woods, Watch this Space creative director (whose PhD focused on graffiti and street art within post-earthquake Christchurch) will lead our tour around Phillipstown.
Come along to learn and share stories about the Phillipstown murals and street art and connect with your neighbours.
The walk is perfect for the young, the old, those who have lived in Phillipstown for years, and our newest neighbours as well.
At the end of the walk, we will stop at the Phillipstown Community hub for a coffee or a juice while chatting about the walk and the street art in Phillipstown
The walk is about 2 km at a slow pace. If that's a possible issue, we recommend use of mobility aids.
In case of very bad weather conditions, the walk will be postponed to the following day, Sunday 6 November, same time.

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
