Regardless of our different faiths, abilities, cultures, ages, orientations and genders - we want to make sure that our communities are safe and welcoming for all.
There are many ways to take part! From hosting a multicultural potluck or film screening to providing prevention information / resources in other languages, there are thousands of ways big and small to make our households, neighbourhoods, schools and businesses even more inclusive. It could even be as simple as learning from a neighbour how to say ‘hello’ in their first language or ensuring local footpaths are clear and accessible.
Want to share your thoughts? Let us know how you’re creating inclusive communities this month by tagging us in your social media posts or emailing us your photos, videos, or experiences to:

playground. This is education 1959-style.
By the 1950s, teachers are beginning to embrace "real experience", in preference to reciting sets of rules, as a foundation for meaningful learning. With boards placed strategically on the ground to mark street kerbs, and striped mats denoting pedestrian crossings, the school courts have been converted into a city intersection for simulated traffic activities. The traffic officer at centre appears satisfied with the hand signals of the cyclist and the driver of pedal car 6.

New suburbs sprang up and essential services spread ever further afield, even to Diamond Harbour. This was still a rural village in 1954 but was beginning to take on the appearance of a Christchurch suburb.
A regular link with Lyttelton by launch and frequent passenger trains through the tunnel made it feasible for city workers to live at Diamond Harbour.
Here building nears completion on the community centre and two family homes, while workers lay a telephone cable beside the road to Charteris Bay.

The council decided on Monday to complete its 101-kilometre network of cycleways by 2028 – one year earlier than proposed in the draft LTP, but still 11 years later than expected when the network was first proposed in 2013.
It also decided to bring forward a cycleway connection from Westmorland to the Nor’West Arc cycleway from 2031 to 2025.
The council also decided to spend $931m over 10 years on roads and footpaths and $96.7m on public transport infrastructure, including bus stops and shelters.

Yes, it is only about bread rolls, but it is also indicative of the price gouging and profiteering that NW (and other supermarkets) engage in and we pay for. I would urge others to raise their voices (or keyboards) to challenge the rip off practices of supermarkets in NZ.
My message to them was as follows:
I'm a regular shopper at Stanmore. I pass two other NW on my way home from work but one of the main reasons I go to Stanmore is to buy the bread rolls for lunches. I noticed that other NW were reducing the size of the bread rolls whereas NW Stanmore did not. Alas, Stanmore has now also followed this trend.
I recall 18 months or so ago that NW Stanmore hiked the price of individual bread rolls up from 67c to something approaching a dollar each. Presumably to encourage people to buy a full bag at a lesser rate. This ill thought out plan quickly collapsed and the price was reduced to 79c per roll - an increase of nearly 20% on the previous cost.
And now the size of the rolls has significantly reduced. They are getting close to the size of a slider. And please do not tell me there has been no change as a blind man can see there has been.
Given the price that you sell a bag (up to 14 rolls) at, where I assume that you are still making a profit, to now reduce the size of the rolls after increasing the price is just blatant profiteering and trying to squeeze more out of customers for a lesser product.
If you are going to reduce the size or weight of the product you sell, then reduce the price accordingly. As it stands at the moment, NW Stanmore is deliberately ripping off its customer base.
79c is already expensive for a single bread roll. Please return them to their previous size!
