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

There’s many ways to take part! From hosting a multicultural potluck where each attendee brings a dish from a country of their choice to coordinating a fundraiser that benefits refugees or our elderly 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 native language or ensuring local footpaths are accessible!

Don’t forget this month also coincides with Women’s Refugee Awareness Month and International Day of Friendship on July 30th - a United Nations day that promotes the role that friendship plays in promoting peace in many cultures.

Want to share your thoughts? Let us know how you’re making your community more inclusive this month by tagging us in your posts + using the following hashtag so we can see what you get up to:

Hot water and the ripple system

Cameron from Trentham

Sorry i'm not sure about this but would like some info if someone could help?

First question, do we still use the ripple system in NZ with our hot water cylinders?

Second question, if it is still active, is there any way to stop it, by either ringing power company or other methods would be … View more

Second question, if it is still active, is there any way to stop it, by either ringing power company or other methods would be welcome?

Having a toddler means we need hot water more than we used too but it's always barely warm even first thing in the morning and with little to no usage at all i'm confused why we have no hot water. No long showers either. Never have an issue in summer...when we use less hot water.
