π Celebrate Community β Mar. 1st to 31st ππ
Knowing your neighbours is one thing, but actually spending time together is to write a much richer story together... an opportunity to have fun, learn more about each other, and recognise that the strings that connect us often run much longer than just the length of our streets.
This month is all about bringing your community together and having a great time! We want March to be all about celebrating the connections we have while making new ones along the way. As we all know, what makes a neighbourhood great isn't the houses and cars, gardens and streets - it's the people who share their presence and aroha with each other.
A wonderful way to take part is to participate in Neighbours Day Aotearoa which is celebrating it's 10th anniversary from March 22nd to 31st. To help you get started, we love their suggestions for 10 little and 10 big ways to get involved. (link below)
Let us know how you're celebrating this month by tagging us in your posts + using the following hashtag so we can see what you get up to:

Poll: The Fuel Squeeze ... How are you navigating rising costs? βοΈ
Between the news about the Nelson Port and Airport facing "huge ramifications" from global unrest and the creeping prices at the local petrol station, it feels like getting from A to B (or flying out of the region) is becoming a major math problem.
With fuel prices and airfares set to stay high for the foreseeable future, we want to know how the Nelson community is pivoting. Are you changing your habits, or just grit-and-bearing it?
We want to know: How are you adjusting your travel and commute to beat the price hikes?
