This month is all about supporting our young people, to encourage and empower them to not only be the change-makers and community builders of tomorrow but also the best versions of themselves. To listen to their perspective and remember that it’s not just about what we can teach them, but what lessons they can teach us. After all, the recipe for creating healthy, happy children includes a lot of the same ingredients for building safer, more resilient and connected communities.
Want to share your thoughts?

A white foamy discharge has been seen flowing through Hamilton on the Waikato River over the last two days.
It's entering the river through a stormwater pipe located at the northern end of the St Andrews golf course and had formed a three kilometre trail along the river's western bank.

It's entering the river through a stormwater pipe located at the northern end of the St Andrews golf course and had formed a three kilometre trail along the river's western bank.
One nearby resident said this is the worst he's ever seen the foam.
Local councils are taking samples, asking around the area, and looking at the stormwater network - but so far it's an unidentified substance.
