Thanks Canon for supporting a great Wairarapa organisation!

Knowing we have a finite time left with loved ones makes those moments most precious.
Canon New Zealand chief executive officer Kim Connor visited Hospice Wairarapa in Masterton and saw how the facility helped people in their community make the most of this time.
As part of the Canon Oceania Grants programme they have given $5000 in photography equipment and cash to the hospice.
"It's such an amazing cause. Precious Memories and how they bring this to life and give people the memories before it is too late, I think that is the most important factor and that is certainly what touched us when we read through the submission.
"So often it is normally too late that people think about what we should have captured. To actually capture it in advance and have something left behind for your nearest and dearest is truly touching.
Connor said Canon would be interested to see if similar programmes could be set in motion in other hospices nationally.
"This is the first time we've seen or heard of it. So to be here and actually experience the hospice is so different to reading about it and hearing it from other people. It's important for us to actually be in the community."
The photography equipment included a Canon EOS 80D DSLR camera, a flash, 50mm lens and a 18-55mm lens and a bag.
Hospice manager Suzie Adamson
said the grant and camera gear from Canon will be life-changing for their patients, caregivers and whanau.
"The video camera will allow us to record both occasions and message that can be shared during our patient's lifetime and later provide comfort in bereavement."
