For the month of October, we want to see how you tackle emergency preparedness. From getting first aid training to putting together a grab n’ go bag with survival essentials, a little bit of planning goes a long way to make sure you can get through any situation.
This month also coincides with International Day of Disaster Reduction on October 13th and New Zealand’s national earthquake drill and tsunami hikoi, ShakeOut, on Thursday, October 17th at 1.30pm.

At Alpine we try to be multi-dimensional with our activities, and each school holidays our busy activities staff organise events where residents can invite their grand kids in to enjoy together.
In the past this has included indoor pool days, clowns, entertainers, film sessions (with popcorn!) and family fun... including a bouncy castle and candy floss!
We look forward to seeing lots of grand children coming in and out of the village during the holidays over the next couple of weeks!

Canterbury drivers overestimate their ability and think other road users are the problem, new research shows.
A total of 1460 people from Kaikōura to Waitaki, including 497 from Christchurch, completed an online survey about their driving habits.
Findings showed 42 per cent rated their own driving ability as above average. The same group considered 73 per cent of other drivers to be only average drivers.

Expect to have a fun-filled night based around the 70's TV show 'It's in the bag', but with a twist.
Throughout the night you could have the chance to win one of twelve bags. All it will take is your number to be called (you will get one when you arrive at the door) and correctly answering three simple questions.
The event is an R18 evening as a cash bar will be available. Food will also be available from some great food vendors.
A great raffle and some awesome auction items will be up for grabs also.
This will be a St John charity ambassador led evening with all proceeds going directly to St John to help with the great work they do as first responders and within the community.
