The Census - why it matters - especially to Canterbury District Health Board
Hi all – we’re on a mission! And we need your help.
We want as many Cantabs as possible to complete the Census for two important reasons:
1. It provides valuable information about our community’s health and disability needs to inform our planning of future health services. The more we know, the better our planning.
2. As our funding is population-based, we need as many Cantabrians as possible to complete the Census, so the population figures are as accurate as possible. The more people who fill out the forms, the more money we receive, it’s as simple as that.
Anything you can do to help people complete the Census is time well spent – when you’re out and about this weekend, please ask your neighbours, friends and family/whānau - have you done the Census?
If you know someone that doesn’t have access to a computer, or isn’t very good with on-line forms, it’s ok to help people if they need a hand.
For more information see www.census.govt.nz... – if you or anyone you know hasn’t received a Census Code in the post, call 0800 CENSUS [0800 236 787]

🌉🛶 Early Birds Might Crack This One First… or Not? 🥚🧠
A person is crossing a bridge and sees a boat full of people, yet there isn't a single person on board.
How is this possible?
(Susan from Massey kindly provided this head-scratcher ... thanks, Susan!)

Poll: Have we lost our "Clean & Green" edge? 🌏
The Press just released an article on the proposed plan to pump sewage into the sea, and it’s got us thinking. We’ve always been proud of our environment, but is the "Clean and Green" reputation still earned?
What’s your take? Are we doing enough to look after our backyard? Is it time for a new slogan? 💬

🪱🐦 When are you the most productive? 🌙🦉
The Post has been diving into our daily habits, and research suggests being an early bird or a night owl isn’t just a choice—it’s biology! We all have that specific time when our brains finally "click" into gear.
This raises a big question for the modern workplace. To get the best out of everyone, should employers accommodate our natural body clocks? This idea is at the heart of the four-day work week and flexible scheduling movements.
We want to hear from you:
1. When does your brain "click" into gear?
2. Would a flexible (or shortened) schedule change the way you work?
