Come along to the Farmers' Market on 9 September (from 9am until 12pm) and chat to local owners and local dealers about how the ever-increasing range of Electric Vehicles can support your lifestyle or your business. Whether your motivation is environmental, public health or economic, operating EVs in New Zealand makes real sense. This event is supported by funding from the EECA (Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority) and Timaru EV dealers.
The display will be followed by Test Drives at Caroline Bay from 1:30pm until 3:30pm. Hearing about EVs is one thing, but putting your foot on the accelerator of any electric vehicle is an experience you'll never forget.

To help, New Zealand Red Cross provided $6.9 million to 179 Canterbury schools, designed to improve the well-being of children by funding a range of school programmes, events and initiatives.
Find out the difference this funding made to both the schools and students in the sixth of our 10 Good Stories videos. These videos show all the ways Red Cross helped one in five Cantabrians recover from the 2010 and 2011 earthquakes, thanks to the generous donations of people from New Zealand and beyond.
Watching her horses stranded in the middle of raging floodwaters as daylight faded, Beth Ferguson felt like she was seeing a nightmare unfold before her eyes. But as the waters rose, she saw her miniature pony - aptly named Thunder - lead the other horses to safety.

Hi there Cantabrians,
We recently caught up with Christchurch residence Helen Coker, the 2015 GARDENA Gardener of the Year. She talks about her experience in the competition, and ticks off the many reasons to nominate the most awesome gardener you know.
