😷 Mask update 😷

Jamie Dobson from Hutt City Council

The Government requirements around what masks must be worn at public facilities have changed.

Masks are mandatory at our Libraries, Neighbourhood Hubs, and Museums. They can no longer be a t-shirt, bandana or scarf. It needs to cover your mouth and nose, and attach with ear or head loops.

If you have a mask exemption card please show this to staff. Do not be offended if we ask you to wear a mask, it is not always obvious when someone has an exemption.

πŸŠβ€β™‚οΈ POOLS πŸŠβ€
The rules around where and when you need to wear a face mask at our pools remain the same, just when you're entering or moving about the facility.

Masks can be removed before you hop in the pool and start swimming. If you're supervising or just watching, we ask that you keep your mask on.

Ensuring you have the right mask, and that it is worn properly, will improve the overall effectiveness of wearing them and help reduce transmission of COVID-19, including Omicron. Thanks for helping keep everyone safe!

Celebrating International Volunteer Managers Day

Olivia from Volunteer Wellington

We had a wonderful morning celebrating Te Whanganui-a-Tara volunteer managers at our International Volunteer Managers Day breakfast event.

It was inspiring to bring together local change-makers to discuss this year's theme: 'what's our future normal?' We shared reflections and aspirations for how we can play a role in shaping a stronger and brighter future for the voluntary sector.

Thank you so much to our generous sponsors Lighthouse Cinema, t leaf T, The Candle Shop, Wonderland Chocolate, Zealandia and Oat Cafe.
