Community Pride Garden Awards 2024

Shirish Paranjape from Community Board member, Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood C.Board

It was so nice to acknowledge the efforts of our local residents and businesses whose gardens have been judged - by the Christchurch Beautifying Association as being exceptional. Over 30 residents and a few businesses were given certificates and trophies at the Community Pride Garden Awards 2024 event held at the Russley Golf Club and Function Centre by the Fendalton- Waimairi- Harewood Community Board.

Congratulations to all nominees and winners!

Sudima hotel (airport), Commodore hotel and The Russley Village were amongst the businesses who won the awards.

Poll: Have you ever been bullied?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

People associate bullying with children in schools, but it can actually stretch beyond childhood to workplaces or neighbourhoods.

This Friday is Pink Shirt Day, which began in Canada in 2007 when two students took a stand against homophobic bullying after a new student was harassed for wearing pink. People across the globe are now encouraged to wear pink on this day to take a stand against bullying and promote inclusivity.

Have you or your whānau ever experienced bullying? Share your thoughts on Pink Shirt Day below.
