Strike for climate New Plymouth

Sarah from Strandon

Strike for Climate - is a global strike taking place tomorrow (Friday 27th September). I have been looking for information regarding the New Plymouth Strike (location, timing etc.) and would appreciate any guidance thrown my way with regards to this.

If you are interested, here is the web link:
www.schoolstrike4climatenz.com...

It says School Strike, but that's just because it was a student initiated movement. Anyone and everyone are encouraged to take part!

"To recognise the significant threat climate change poses to all our futures, livelihoods and very existence we are calling on all New Zealanders to join us and stand in solidarity on 27th September for urgent action on the climate crisis. Student strikers are encouraged to bring their parents along to the strike and the general population are invited to get involved."

Certified copies of documents

The team from Citizens Advice Bureau New Plymouth

Sometimes you need a certified copy of a document. This means that an authorised person signs the document to confirm that it is a true copy of the original.

This is one of the services provided by a Justice of the Peace (JP). There is a JP in attendance at our New Plymouth office on Monday mornings.

This service is free, and no appointment is necessary.

If Monday mornings don't suit, check with us about when a JP is available at other locations.
