This 5-year-old beauty in Dunedin is sugar and spice and all things nice - and she's awfully smart, too.

A loyal and happy dog, Cajun is sure to make a great companion - she just needs to find her person.

The Home Safety checklist will give you practical tips on how to avoid falls, sprains and strains while pulling those stubborn weeds. For example, when you’re gardening avoid heavy lifting and use long-handled tools so you’re not bending over for long periods. Steady yourself when bending and standing, no pesky weed is worth falling for!
A new movement called Live Stronger for Longer is helping to reduce the risk of falls by providing practical information and free resources. We want to help you stay on your feet, and living the life you want to live.
Take the home safety checklist with your friends and family and join the movement today.
Proudly brought to you by ACC, HQ&SC, MOH and your local community health providers.

The future of low-lying South Dunedin is in the hands of science, not those who misinterpret or politicise its flooding problems.

Often when South Dunedin flooded, it was held up as the exemplar of what climate change induced sea-level rise might look like in New Zealand.
However, there were other factors behind the suburb's vulnerability to flooding that were being ignored, including run-off from Dunedin's hills.
We’re so grateful to all the generous sorts who’ve chipped in to get us here. So, let’s lose the gifts… and turn our big day into a celebration with the nation.
For every $10 donated from you, Spark Foundation will give $10 too – up to a grand total of $10,000 across all 10 charities.
