NEW MEMBERS NIGHT
Canterbury Singers have a New Members night on Tuesday 16th July.
We're especially looking for LOW VOICES! Women with low voices to sing Alto or Men's tenor, and Men to sing Tenor Baritone or Bass!
So, if you are tired of straining to sing high melody parts or even Alto is too high for you, come and join us! We're a choir with a proud tradition of over 50 years entertaining audiences, but now after Covid and a number of retirements, we're looking for vibrant people to swell the ranks and magnify our sound!
So..... if you love to sing, can sing in tune, and hold a part, we want your voice! Come and join us as we start our new repertoire for our December Concert.
If you haven't sung in a choir for years, want a change from singing Acapella or other forms of music, come and be part of the joyful sould of a full choir accompanied by our talented pianist - Jean, and directed by our talented young Conductor Henry Nicholson,
Date: 16th July Arrive 7:15pm
Place: Chapel St Centre, Corner of Chapel St and Harewood Road Papanui
Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
