Help us create a "Welcoming Plan"
We're running a survey for newcomers* to help us create a Welcoming Plan:
🌏 www.wdc.govt.nz...
And we're inviting migrants, ethnic communities and relevant to a series of hui to discuss community, access, opportunities, and connection - the first meeting is at 3:30pm on Thursday 20 February 2025.
Whangārei is renowned for its strong community spirit and this continues to grow into something even more special as we expand our cultural diversity. Migrants and newcomers bring skills and unique viewpoints that diversify and enrich our whole District, and we want everyone to feel at home and love it here.
* What's a "newcomer"? If you think this survey is for you then it's probably for you! And if you've lived in Whangārei District for less than 5 years then it's definitely for you.
Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️
First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.
While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.
And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
-
31.5% Yes - get rid of the clock changes
-
67.6% No, I enjoy it
-
0.9% Other - I'll share below
