Held from the 11th-17th September, Māori Language week gives us a chance to celebrate our beautiful national language. Maybe you'll be celebrating by watching the Toku Reo videos and using Te Aka (Maōri Dictionary) to improve your knowledge, or maybe you've found a buddy for the week that will only kōrero in te reo with you. Ka pai!

There’s a new word puzzle that’s a little “anagram-istic”, a tad “Boggle-ing” and a bit harder than both. It’s aptly named, The Hard Word.
You get one scramble of letters, one cryptic clue and one tense minute to unscramble the letters and guess the answer.
Proudly brought to you by Neighbourly, The Hard Word can be found 9am weekdays on Stuff. Give it a go today - if you dare…

A Māori ward means Kāpiti residents on the Māori electoral roll would vote for a Māori ward councillor instead of for candidates standing in general wards based on location.
Councillors will decide at an Additional Council meeting on 14 November if this is the right course for Kāpiti. If they decide to go ahead, it will trigger a representation review next year. The review would check Kāpiti continues to be well represented by all our electoral arrangements for wards, boundaries, councillors, and community boards.

Kia Ora wonderful neighbours!
