Get Active 2020
Waipā District Libraries Get Active campaign is on again!
We're encouraging Waipā residents to Get Active - with some incentives along the way.
The campaign, Get Active 2020, will run from 14 September to 14 November.
You can collect an activity passport from your library from Friday 11 September.
The passport contains all the information you will need to collect stamps for your passport. Stamps can be collected by attending library events and events/classes at participating providers. Details are inside the passport and included below with more information and links.
Major prizes can be won at each library, with incentive prizes along the way (drawstring bags and drink bottles). Our thanks to our sponsors Club Waipa in Te Awamutu and Anytime Fitness Cambridge. Both are also providing classes which can earn vouchers/stamps.
Anyone who wishes to participate is encouraged to register (right) so that they can receive class reminders and updates to the programme or providers.

Open to Waipa residents.

The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑
Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.
We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

Poll: Are you a Te Huia fan?
All three Hamilton MPs appear to be united behind the retention of the Te Huia passenger rail service between Hamilton and Auckland, as well as potentially expanding it to Tauranga.
But whether Hamilton East’s Ryan Hamilton, Hamilton West’s Tama Potaka and soon-to-be Labour list MP Georgie Dansey have the combined power to shunt transport minister Chris Bishop and Prime Minister Christopher Luxon onto their line of thinking remains to be seen.
Are you a Te Huia fan? Tell us more in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
