Christchurch mayor Lianne Dalziel’s husband, well-known lawyer Rob Davidson and father of city councillor Mike Davidson, has been unwell with prostate cancer for some time.

Deputy Mayor Andrew Turner will be acting mayor during Dalziel’s absence. Read more here.

Our boy max hasn't come back for a week. We have just moved from Hornby to sioux ave. Before anyone gives me any advice I have done it all so please no unsolicited advice. I'm seeing if anyone has seen him. Thanks 🙏🏻

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!
