Canterbury, it’s time to get vaccinated.

An ambitious campaign has been launched to get 90 per cent of eligible Cantabrians jabbed by Labour Weekend – in less than four weeks time.

Businesses have thrown their weight behind the plan, which aims to make Canterbury the most Covid-19 protected region in the country.

Among those backing the campaign is Roger Gray, chief executive of Lyttelton Port Company (LPC), who said Cantabrians should “roll-up their sleeves and get vaccinated”.

I'm trying to source food from people in the community who for instance have fruit or produce that is rotting .
Like fruit .
Vegetables .
Food that is useable to others who are going hungry .
Please feel free to drop off in the carpark food .
And this is a free service .
I did this as a child getting old fruit and cutting the bad bits out and using the good .
I love Christchurch and as a community this is actually really required .
Any donation no matter how big or small will be appreciated by someone .
There are boxes by my Ford focus in the carpark .
Please if you have food going to waste bring it around .

Family not interested? | Have you stopped collecting? | Downsizing or moving? | Lying in a cupboard unused? | Unwanted jewellery? | Would cash be more useful?

If yes to any of these questions, then please see our buyers this week. We will buy single items or complete collections.

The recent lockdown has seen many of us take the time to sort items we no longer require or simply want to turn into cash.

We are currently very short of stock and keen to buy any of these or similar items.

Please see us at any of the multiple venues in the Canterbury area.

Buying now at a venue near you deal with the specialists.

Heya!
I know Halloween is coming up at the end of the month and a few people were interested in handing out lollies to the neighbouring kids last year.

Was wondering if it was possible if those who are happy to do it again this year are able to put a marker out of some sort indicating that kids are welcome or a sign stating "no trick or treaters". Had a few grumpy people when I took my niece around last year since we didn't know until we knocked!

Thanks!!
