Introducing myself
Hi neighbour
Neighbourly has very kindly (and efficiently) set up this profile for me to provide a 2-way connection with the community which has elected me.
This is my first post as the Board member of Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood community board. (FWH ward).
Let me share the events which have happened from the time the local election results were announced.
We have had a few sessions of training at the City Council buildings. The first one was attended by all elected representatives from Christchurch, while the second one included district councillors from outside Christchurch – from as far south as Waimate, and as far north as Hurunui.
In a separate session, all the councillors and community board members of FWH ward were “sworn in” and declarations signed with and in presence of the Hon. Mayor of Christchurch.
We – particularly the newbies – also got introduced to the City Council staff who support the FWH community board. These staff members use the Fendalton Service Centre as their office. This is also the location where the community board meetings are held, currently at 4 pm on Monday evenings, twice a month. Most of these meetings are open to members of public.
Our first “real” – if I can use the word – meeting is on Monday 14 November 2016. I have received a 72 page agenda – in electronic format. This is available on-line through the link below.

I plan to keep you posted on items of interest from the meeting on Monday (and beyond). Have a nice weekend.

🌉🛶 Early Birds Might Crack This One First… or Not? 🥚🧠
A person is crossing a bridge and sees a boat full of people, yet there isn't a single person on board.
How is this possible?
(Susan from Massey kindly provided this head-scratcher ... thanks, Susan!)

🪱🐦 When are you the most productive? 🌙🦉
The Post has been diving into our daily habits, and research suggests being an early bird or a night owl isn’t just a choice—it’s biology! We all have that specific time when our brains finally "click" into gear.
This raises a big question for the modern workplace. To get the best out of everyone, should employers accommodate our natural body clocks? This idea is at the heart of the four-day work week and flexible scheduling movements.
We want to hear from you:
1. When does your brain "click" into gear?
2. Would a flexible (or shortened) schedule change the way you work?
☔️ Where’d the summer go?
It’s the talk of the town (and every coffee queue): the Canterbury "summer" has felt a bit wet this year! We’ve definitely had our fair share of grey skies and raincoats lately 🌧️ In fact, the Post reports that Christchurch experienced almost double our usual!
While the forecast is looking bright for this weekend (fingers crossed!), we aren't out of the woods ... there are a few more cold fronts lining up before winter hits.
We want to hear from you: What are your go-to rainy-day activities? Whether you’re a local legend at the indoor courts or a professional movie-marathoner, share your secrets with us!
