Recognise a local here
If you know someone who gives up their time to help others or goes above and beyond to make a big difference in their local community, now is the time to nominate them for a Christchurch City Council Civic Award.
Each year, the Christchurch City Council recognises the efforts of individuals or groups who work, on a voluntary basis, to make a positive impact in the city by giving out Civic Awards. Whether it comes from an individual, society, association, club or group, anyone can nominate a worthy candidate for consideration.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
