This is your chance to celebrate your hood by sharing stories, photos or video. We really want to see and hear about the people in your neighbourhood. Portraits or videos of our neighbourhood champions, or the people that to you personify your community or ‘hood’. This year we’re doing it a little differently. To help focus (excuse the photography pun) we’ve chosen three themes.
1 – I Heart the History of My Hood
Everywhere we live has history, and stories. Do you know your hood’s history? Or maybe you know someone who has lived in the community for what seems like a million years, and know the place like that back of their hand. Was your hood the birth place of the women’s vote, or maybe site of the biggest lamington ever made way back in 53′ ….(Yes I know, random, but honestly we’re interesting in anything and everything)… By the way – this is also an awesome way to get our older ‘story tellers’ involved.
2 – I Heart Diversity in my Hood
New Zealand really has become a melting pot and that brings with it the rainbow of diversity of all kinds. Maybe you have the ‘united nations’ living on one street, maybe your neighbourhood pot luck dinners are better and more interesting than an international food fair could every dream of! We want to see and hear about it.
3 – I Heart My Healthy Hood
With our clean green image, amazing fresh foods, picture perfect outdoor environment, we know there are neighbourhoods out there that personify ‘health’. Is your neighbourhood or neighbour one of them? It could be through a neighbourhood walking group, or a ‘from garden to plate thanks to the shared neighbourhood community garden’ kind of thing. It might be a neighbourhood that has committed to getting the kids off screens and outside, or maybe its a whole street of cross fit power vegans ….. probably not … but you never know. What ever it is, we want to see and hear about it.

So get snapping and chatting. We have more information on I Heart My Hood available on facebook and on our website.

Hi neighbours,
Easter trading on Easter sunday is one step closer after a 'lone wolf' failed to stop the march towards it at a meeting on Thursday.
How do you feel about this?

It's the best cafe in New Zealand - and it's here in Rotorua. Capers has scooped the title of 2017 Meadow Fresh New Zealand Cafe of the Year, leaving co-owner Gregg Brown "thrilled".

Some sad news from this morning council meeting with it being announced that the Museum could be shut for two years.
Rotorua Lakes Council chief financial officer Thomas Colle said the engineers rating of the building, which had been expected in April, was now likely to be ready in June.
It would then take another six months to go through the design options for the repair.
What do you think about this news?

I was biking to school with my son and he paused as we went by so we didn't get sprayed by dirt and grass. I nodded my thanks.
On my way back he paused a good 20 seconds before I got to him so the dust could settle. This time I shouted my thanks.
What would it take for us to all acknowledge the kindness of those simple gestures? What kindness can we each be in the small things that can contribute to a more joyful community and planet?
1000 kindness points to this sweet Mower Man!
Thank you again!
From 2017, HPV immunisation will be free for everyone aged 9 to 26. That means boys can also be protected against some types of cancer.

That means boys can also be protected against some types of cancer.
HPV-related cancers take a long time to develop, the viruses are mostly transmitted by teenagers and young adults but often aren’t diagnosed until later. That’s why it’s important for children to be immunised when they are young. Around 80% of people will be exposed to HPV at some point in their life. Protecting children before they are exposed to HPV will protect their health in the future.
For more information about HPV immunisation, see www.health.govt.nz/hpv
