Kia kaha Canterbury! Have you got any messages of support?

February 22 will mark the 10th anniversary of the Christchurch Earthquakes.

With uncertainties surrounding commemorations due to recent Covid-19 restrictions, the Christchurch City Council will live stream the event so that people worldwide will have to opportunity to pay their respects.

The council has worked closely with the Quakes Families Trust to create a memorial service that will acknowledge and commemorate those that lost their lives and all that have endured hardship due to the disaster.

“We want people, no matter where they are in the world, to feel part of the commemorations so we will be live-streaming both the national memorial service on 22 February and the free concert – Ōtautahi Together – on 28 February,” says Christchurch City Council Civic and International Relations Manager Matt Nichols.

185 Cantabrians lost their lives when a magnitude 6.2 earthquake struck at a depth of 5km near south-east Christchurch in 2011.

Wonderful start to the weekend with Brian Davis welcoming all of our
guests to the Grand Opening of the St Martins Community Menzshed. Dugald Wilson cut the (4x2) ribbon, and an extended tour of the facilities and morning tea followed.
This Menzshed, for all of South Christchurch, is located at 43 St Martins Road behind the church (but independent of the church!). You can bring your own project or work on a group community project Wednesday and Saturday mornings. (You have to participate in health and safety briefings and training to use some of the machinery) There will be experienced guys on hand to give advice, and a warm welcome.
Menzshed is about learning skills, making new friendships, and doing projects for self and community.

Christchurch International Airport is not doing daily Covid-19 saliva tests for its border staff – unlike Auckland Airport, which is privately funding a saliva testing pilot.

Airport boss Malcolm Johns said it was not a financial issue, but it was unnecessary as almost all international travellers were arriving via Auckland. The bigger risk in Christchurch was at managed isolation and quarantine (MIQ) facilities.

Do you think saliva testing should be offered to Christchurch border staff?
