Take a kid flying
From Canterbury Blue Light:
Fourteen very excited students from Wharenui School travelled to Rangiora Airfield for
this year’s annual Canterbury Blue Light Take a Kid Flying event on 13 May 13.
This event happens every year thanks to the incredible generosity of a group of local pilots who donate the use of their personal aircraft and their time to take a group of deserving young people
out for the experience of a lifetime.
This year the children were taken on an incredible scenic
flight over Lake Coleridge, Mt Hutt and they even had views of Mt Cook.
Canterbury Blue Light is a charity that works closely with police so all its events are
supported by police staff.
After returning to land, the young people spent their lunch time
getting to know the pilots and police, dressing up in some police uniforms and enjoying the
beautiful Canterbury surrounds.
This memorable event has the power to be incredibly inspiring and impacting for the
children selected to take part.
Canterbury Blue Light extends a big thanks to the pilots and
their families for making it possible.

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.
