Top Dog Film Festival returns to Christchurch at The Hollywood Cinema, Sumner, on Saturday, October 31, and you can bring your dog.
You and your four-legged friend can expect to see two hours of entertaining and heart-warming films about the joy of dogs.
If your dog can sit on your lap, they are included in your ticket price, if your dog needs its own seat you'll have to bring a towel to cover the cinema chair (how New Zealand is this?).

New Zealand’s only heli-dive operation is now offering people the chance to freefall over the Pacific Ocean, before landing on Sumner Beach in Christchurch.
Stuff reporter Lee Kenny dropped in for a look, then dropped out.

Temperatures reached record highs in parts of the South Island on Sunday, with Kaikōura the hottest spot in the country at 24.5C.
Riccarton equalled its second-highest winter temperature with 23.6C, Lincoln had its fourth-highest at 22.3C, while Waimate had its hottest winter day since records began in 1908, reaching 23.4C.
But despite the weekend of warm weather across New Zealand, winter isn’t over yet.
Did you make the most of the weather while it lasted?

Initially and mostly in the litter abatement area, but also in general beautification of our physical environment. This can include reporting and removing graffiti; collaborating with schools and groups to paint murals on Chorus street side utility cabinets (to prevent graffiti); running our very successful schools environment programme (in its 27th year in 2020) which reaches around 40 schools a year; working with other environmental groups, individuals and community groups to carry out clean up and other environment enhancement events around the city; supporting and recognising volunteers who work regularly picking up rubbish, planting, caring for local parks, reserves and gardens, develop and maintain new native plantings in reserves; and also recognising those businesses that themselves support volunteers or have business practices that are environmentally sustainable.
KCB promotes and supports projects initiated by Keep New Zealand Beautiful, our parent organisation (while KCB is a branch, it is also independent and a stand-alone charity and incorporated society). KCB is also developing new projects, including scaling the schools programme to suits preschools; maintaining a ‘library’ of gear to lend and sometimes gift, to groups doing clean ups; and providing event coordination and management for business groups wanting to ‘give back’ to their communities with clean up events.
KCB is proud of its connections with other groups around the city; together we are more than the sum of our parts.

The three structures, worth $13.7 million, will be part of the green spine, a network of trails and green areas that hug the banks of the river between the city centre and New Brighton. Funding will come from the Christchurch Earthquake Appeals Trust.
They were originally going to be white bridges with concrete pads, but Christchurch City Council has changed the plans after receiving feedback from 91 people or groups.
The most common complaints were about the bridges being white because it does not blend into the environment, and concerns about a lack of cultural identity or local flavour.

New Brighton residents are fed up at negotiating flooded roads almost 10 years after the earthquakes devastated the area.

Christchurch City Council says until some money can be found to replace the infrastructure, there is no easy way to prevent the flooding.
New Brighton Rd and other streets close to the Avon River flood even when it hasn’t been raining. All it takes is a fairly decent high tide before water is forced back up through stormwater pipes originally designed to drain water away.
Have you been affected by flooding roads in your area? More here.

A large health facility with procedure rooms and luxury recovery suites is proposed for a prominent site in Christchurch's health precinct.
The application proposes two levels of medical facilities and three levels of guest accommodation “proposed to function as luxury recovery rooms” for procedures done on the lower floors.
Huadu International NZ chief executive Aaron Boddington said the company was excited to develop the project, but declined to answer questions on when the facility would be built, who would operate it and how much it would cost.

The fire has been burning since about 11.25am on Sunday after flaring up on a Twizel riverbed and spreading to a large forest on Mt Cook Rd (State Highway 80).
It grew to 2500 hectares and had a 23 kilometre perimeter by Sunday night but on Monday, there was "significant spread" overnight and it was now covering 3100 hectares.
There are 17 helicopters and two fixed-wing aircraft battling the fire, with the first helicopters equipped with monsoon buckets going up at first light.
