Celebrate Community - March 1st to 31st đ
This month is all about bringing your community together and having a great time! We want March to be all about celebrating the connections we have while making new ones along the way. As we all know, what makes a neighbourhood great isnât the houses and cars, gardens and streets - itâs the people who share their presence and aroha with each other.
A wonderful way to take part is to participate in Neighbours Day Aotearoa which takes place from 20 - 30th March. This yearâs theme is âThe Great Plant Swapâ - as an easy way for our neighbourhoods to grow stronger together. If youâre hosting an event, make sure to register it on their website: neighboursday.org.nz/join-in
Show us how youâre celebrating community this month by tagging us in your social media posts or emailing us your photos, videos, or experiences to: info@neighbourhoodsupport.co.nz
Poll: Canterbury is thriving on paper... but are you seeing evidence of Canterbury's improving economy?
As reported in the Press, Reserve Bank Governor Anna Breman recently gave a shout-out to our region, calling Canterbury a "stand-out" for how we recover from tough times. With tech firms growing and exporters investing, the business side of things is looking bright!
đ But we know that "business growth" doesn't always mean the weekly shop gets any cheaper. While the city expands, many families feel like theyâre just trying to keep their heads above water.
We want to know: With the business buzz of 2026, do you feel like things are finally looking up for your household, or does it still feel like a climb?
