Young Fair Fair
Hamilton Community Market in collaboration with Young Enterprise Scheme (YES) is excited to bring this opportunity to Hamilton West on Sunday 4th September 2022 from 9am - 1pm at our market. This will be combined with our market, so will be a goodie not to miss.
The Lion Foundation Young Enterprise Scheme (YES) is an experiential programme in which secondary school students set up and run their own business.
Our vision at Young Enterprise is to inspire the next generation of business leaders, disruptors, and changemakers, helping to create a generation of business savvy and financially competent Kiwis. In this authentic learning experience, students develop a whole new set of skills: problem solving, resilience, teamwork, leadership, public speaking, and decision-making.
YES companies complete challenges throughout the year in their quest to become regional champion and compete at nationals in December. There are both regional and national awards, cash prizes and tertiary scholarships up for grabs throughout the year.
The YES Trade Fair is an opportunity for students to sell their product or service and promote their business to the public (they are also competing for the “Best Trade Fair Presence” award!)
If you’re looking for a way to support your community and the next generation of bright, young entrepreneurs – then make sure you come on down to the Hamilton Community Market on September 4th!

Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
34% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
66% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
Poll: How are your manu skills?
Waikato MP Tim van de Molen could have inadvertently been gifted his new election campaign slogan after taking out the Waikato Times political manu challenge.
Guest judge Alia McQueen said the National Party MP showed loads of “style and energy” as he out-bombed his parliamentary colleagues at Saturday’s impromptu manu challenge at Wellington Street Beach in Hamilton.
How are your manu skills? Tell us more in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
