Porirua Little Theatre member Tanisha Wardle wants the Porirua City Council to gift the theatre group a piece of land, so it can build a purpose-built theatre.

This month we’re celebrating the diverse array of people who call New Zealand home. Regardless of our different faiths, abilities, cultures, ages, orientations and genders - we want to make sure that our communities are safe and welcoming for all.

There are many ways to take part! From hosting a multicultural potluck or film screening to providing prevention information / resources in other languages, there are thousands of ways big and small to make our households, neighbourhoods, schools and businesses even more inclusive. It could even be as simple as learning from a neighbour how to say ‘hello’ in their first language or ensuring local footpaths are clear and accessible.

Want to share your thoughts? Let us know how you’re creating inclusive communities this month by tagging us in your social media posts or emailing us your photos, videos, or experiences to:

Rotary Peace and Remembrance Forest Planting
Friday 2nd July 2021 8.30am to 12.00pm Plimmerton Domain- Ulric St.
There is more planting to be done on Wednesday as well as some weeding. Most of the planting will be undertaken by a team from Porirua City and the aim is to plant 2500 stems during the morning. This is an impressive start to this year's planting programme at the Forest and builds on last year's very successful planting.
Rotary Club members will undertake some weeding and tidying up of last year’s planting.
