The Wednesday Challenge is launching in Tauranga!

Tina from Welcome Bay

Hi Neighbours,

Are you sick of sitting in traffic?

An exciting community initiative is launching in your neighbourhood next week, March 2nd! THE WEDNESDAY CHALLENGE invites you to travel differently on a Wednesday, wherever you are going. Maybe you have errands to run, need to go shopping, visit friends or attend a social event. Can you take someone with you or consider ride sharing with someone else, take the bus, lime scooter, walk or bike instead of sitting in traffic by yourself. There’s rewards and prizes up for grabs for the neighbourhoods, businesses and schools who generate the biggest shift in the way they travel. Every ride counts.

The Wednesday Challenge is a great way to build stronger community connections, reduce road congestion, improve your health and wellbeing and have some fun. It’s also a great chance for each one of us to make a small change to make a big difference collectively.

Are you up for the challenge? Change the way we travel…. for good. Jump online to find out more and join the Challenge at: www.wednesdaychallenge.co.nz...

What's your favourite recipe for courgettes?

Mei Leng Wong Reporter from NZ Gardener & Get Growing

Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for courgettes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our January 2025 issue.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
