It has been said that Maori poorer members of society could be affected the greatest. WHAT IS BEING CONSIDERED IS COMPENSATION! We all know that WE choose to live where we do, we also know that there are many very wealthy people who own palatial properties in these same areas. It is very scary where this Government could be leading us. I will be interested to know what others think.

Cantabrians are urged to start training for a 10-kilometre run-walk held in the Port Hills in February to remember those who lost their lives in the 2011 earthquake.

Entrants have just over two months to prepare for the annual Run to Remember event, where runners and walkers of all ages and abilities follow a course along the Port Hills from Victoria to Hansen Park.

Sport Canterbury chief executive Julyan Falloon says the route offers an opportunity to remember and reflect on those affected by the earthquakes. "We've all been impacted in different ways. There is no other experience where you take time to look over the city and reflect."
