March's Citizenship Ceremony in Christchurch
Every month this year close to two hundred new Kiwis will take the Oath or Affirmation of Allegiance to become New Zealand Citizens in Christchurch. It's a celebration that recognises that all Kiwis, at one stage, came from another country but the rich mix of culture, language, customs, religions and traditions makes NZ the very special and unique place it is. It was a privilege to be asked to help present as a community board member and congratulate our newest citizens.
Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
