Any old gumboots lying around?
The Ministry for Primary Industries is raising awareness around kauri dieback disease. They need your old gumboots to fill and paint them, then place them around kauri trees, to keep people on the tracks and off the tree roots!
Whangarei Central Library is a gumboot collection point so bring your old gum boots next time you’re in.

Just to refresh I run a business Website Design Whangarei. I do not get enough work. I have airway and voice issues so may be puffed and not speak well when answering the phone at home, this makes it hard to get customers.
I am hoping hot-desking at the Orchard and the chance to market with like minded people will give me the opportunity to progress.
I am doing the pick at the Orchard 8 weeks in I have not missed a class. I am putting in the effort.
I am very involved at community level currently Chairman of DPA Northland and Co-Chair of WDC disability advisory group.
Also looking forward to seeing what's happening in The Strand in the CBD with CTN

‘The children are our future.’ It’s a well-loved cliché around the world because it’s absolutely true. The hopes and dreams we have for our communities are only as strong as the children and young people who continue to believe in them long after we’re gone.

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?
Let us know how you’re supporting young people in your communities this month by tagging us in your posts + using the following hashtag so we can see what you get up to:
