Affordable living isn’t the only reason people many people say they live in Christchurch.

The city has easy access to the outdoors and recreation options including tramping, skiing, boating, hunting, fishing, and mountain biking.

Christchurch is colder than the main North Island cities during winter, but is also drier than all the other main cities, and sunnier and less windy than Wellington.

Wanted dog walker, friend

Patrick Koot from Elusion Electrical Ltd

Occasionally we have a day where Shan is on a long day shift and Patrick is stuck on big job he can't leave at lunch, and our teens are at school. We are thinking about getting someone in during the day to let Otto out, and give him at least 30 min of play or walking.

We are thinking about getting someone in during the day to let Otto out, and give him at least 30 min of play or walking. We also have a elderly dog.

The right person must be experienced with bull breeds and confident with all dogs and have the ability to be firm when out walking.

Both our dogs are beautiful and friendly but do have some health/pain issues.

Disclaimer: our property has full security camera coverage so if you don't like the thought you are always on camera while here this job is not for you. We like to be open about cameras to protect our home, family, dogs and business.

Thanks Shan and Patrick

She has lost her father suddenly to illness (passed away the other day) but her mother also had a massive stroke and now Mariska is needed urgently in Holland to bury her father, arrange care for her mother and deal with all the logistics of her parent's affairs and house etc.
I know Mariska and this need is real and genuine. Her original request for help had to be transferred from go-fund-me to give-a-little and that caused all the original donations to be refunded to the donors. She explains on her page. Please follow the link....

“I would like to nominate and THANK our great neighbour's living at Viv Davie Martin Drive for their creativity and huge effort during lock down. They lifted all our spirits with their daily Teddy bear reenactment on how to keep busy. Each day people came to see what Teddy bear was up to. With keen interest kids in our neighbourhood even gave Teddy a proper name...meet Vincent LOL! It's through times like this that such acts of goodness should be acknowledged and the memories they hold forever treasured. A selected few photos of Vincent's daily lockdown activities "thanks Vincent :)"

Plans for a new car park near Christchurch Hospital are “pretty much there”, Canterbury Regeneration Minister Megan Woods has promised.

Woods made the comment on Twitter on Thursday evening in response to a complaint from a member of the public about Christchurch’s lack of hospital parking.

"Please be assured that we understand just how much of a problem the lack of a carpark is. I have been working on the details of a solution that's pretty much there - more to say very soon," she wrote.

Has the lack of hospital parking been a problem for you? Where do you think a new parking building or site should go?
