Looking for a dog to socialize with ours

Lou from Hillmorton

Hi everyone. Our dog Sylvie (staffy X) is an ex pound puppy that has come such a long way in a year. She needs to work on her socialising skills with other dogs. She hasn't quite worked out what is normal play, as she very rough and tumble at times.

Hi everyone. Our dog Sylvie (staffy X) is an ex pound puppy that has come such a long way in a year. She needs to work on her socialising skills with other dogs. She hasn't quite worked out what is normal play, as she very rough and tumble at times.
Parallel walking together would be a great starting point. Would be delighted to hear from you. Happy if your dog is in the same boat, as it be good training for both. Medium to large dogs preferably.
Thanks
Lou

Watch: Is this the coolest thing to do in NZ?

Georgia Reporter from Stuff

Hi neighbours,

What do you get when you combine go-carts with the luge, and race down the side of a ski mountain? It's called mountain carting; and it's easily the most fun Brook Sabin has ever had.

Hi neighbours,

What do you get when you combine go-carts with the luge, and race down the side of a ski mountain? It's called mountain carting; and it's easily the most fun Brook Sabin has ever had.

This cool ride is at Cardrona - the South Island ski resort. Although most Kiwis head there during the winter ski season, in the warmer months it's a summer playground. Click here to read all about it. Have you given this a go?

Treasury Paper 14-10

2.3 Changing policy expectations
While useful, models do not capture all the effects policymakers expect from immigration.

When New Zealand moved to increase the numbers and skills of immigrants in the 1980s and 1990s, policymakers appear to have considered that these changes had the potential to have major beneficial impacts on the New Zealand economy, reinforcing the gains from the other liberalising and deregulating economic reforms undertaken during that period.

At that time, it was considered that skills-focused inward migration could: improve growth by bringing in better quality human capital and addressing skills shortages; improve international connections and boost trade; help mitigate the effects of population ageing; and have beneficial effects on fiscal balance. As well as “replacing” departing
New Zealanders and providing particular help with staffing public services (for example, medical professionals), it was believed that migration flows could be managed so as to avoid possible detrimental effects (such as congestion or poorer economic prospects) for existing New Zealanders.

Since then, New Zealand has had substantial gross and net immigration, which has been relatively skill-focused by international standards. However, New Zealand’s economic performance has not been transformed. Growth in GDP per capita has been relatively lacklustre, with no progress in closing income gaps with the rest of the advanced world, and productivity performance has been poor. It may be that initial expectations about the potential positive net benefits of immigration were too high.

Based on a large body of new research evidence and practical experience, the consensus among policymakers now is that other factors are more important for per capita growth and productivity than migration and population growth. CGE modelling exercises for
Australia and New Zealand have been influential in reshaping expectations.

Performance in New Zealand:

Every new job in tourism makes us poorer as a nation as the average income generated is below the average to generate present GDP per capita.

Kia ora Spreydon-Cashmere,

What a fantastic year it’s been out here in our ‘hood!
We at the Spreydon-Cashmere Community Board and Council want to thank you all for another amazing year with our one-of-a-kind community!

The opening of the major Quarryman’s Trail cycleway has been such an amazing addition, connecting Halswell to the city, with us in the middle.

Parts of the Heathcote River have been transformed as part of the Heathcote River bank stabilisation.

The beautiful Old Stone House in Cracroft was restored, events like the Hoon Hay Fiesta drew the crowds and we celebrated our green thumbed neighbours at the Edible Gardens Awards.

We are so grateful for all of your support in the community, and we cannot wait to see what 2019 brings for the Spreydon-Cashmere wards.

Meri Kirihimete and happy holidays!

From the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere Community Board and the Christchurch City Council
