Safety Tip – Be safe.
Careful handling of open flames, candles, barbecues, camp-fires and braziers
Install smoke alarms in sleep-outs, caravans and tents
Check gas cylinders for leaks every time you connect or disconnect them. Check all cylinder and hose fittings to ensure the connections have been correctly fitted, are tight and undamaged
Go to the Check it’s alright web site to see if you can light a fire, most fires in this area need a permit.

Poll: Have you ever been bullied?
People associate bullying with children in schools, but it can actually stretch beyond childhood to workplaces or neighbourhoods.
This Friday is Pink Shirt Day, which began in Canada in 2007 when two students took a stand against homophobic bullying after a new student was harassed for wearing pink. People across the globe are now encouraged to wear pink on this day to take a stand against bullying and promote inclusivity.
Have you or your whānau ever experienced bullying? Share your thoughts on Pink Shirt Day below.
