Multicultural Youth Nelson Tasman (MYNTies) speaking on
That's MYNT!
Do young people see things differently? Meet the MYNTies, a group of young people aged 14 - 21 living in the Nelson-Tasman region. Some are new arrivals; others have been here much longer. They come from all corners of the globe, speak many different languages and represent a wide range of cultures.

The MYNTies will talk about their mission to empower young people through the projects they've set up, sharing their passion for achieving acceptance for all, and unity in diversity. Come and discuss, eat, drink, listen, question and comment.
Where? Café Yaza, Montgomery Square, Nelson
Yaza opens for dining/drinks at 6.00pm.
Conversation 7.30-9.30pm.
Treat yourself and support our partners Yaza Cafe at the same time. Come early and try their new 'Spirited Conversations' menu!

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
