Thank you!
Thank you so much to everyone who came down to our Quiz Night with Canterbury Rugby last night. With close to 50 teams entered and multiple Canterbury Rugby players, coaches and team members in attendance, the Papanui Club was packed and there was not an empty seat in the house.
We had an awesome night and would like to thank everyone who came along. We are very proud to say that we raised $714 for The Christchurch Kidney Society on the night.
“It is so lovely to have support in our community to raise much needed funds and create awareness of kidney disease.” Says Jo Houghton, The Christchurch Kidney Society Manager.

🌿 Ōtukaikino Memorial Service Changes 🌿
This year marks a change, whereby Lamb and Hayward will no longer hold the usual Memorial Service in February at Ōtukaikino “The Living Memorial”. Instead, Lamb and Hayward will now host a Memorial Weekend in the spring.
This new format will include a tree dedication, followed by optional planting activities and guided tours of the site.
Created in 1992 with the Department of Conservation, The Living Memorial is a 13-hectare native wetland where a tree is planted for every funeral service conducted by Lamb & Hayward. It remains a peaceful space of remembrance for families, with the Angel Rock continuing as the resting place for Angels from our Christmas to Remember services.

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.5% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.9% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.6% ... It is complicated
