Rangiora Christmas events cancelled

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from Northern Outlook

Due to the ongoing Covid-19 restrictions, Rangiora Promotions has made the "heart-breaking" decision to cancel the Christmas Celebration Night, the Rangiora Toyota Santa Parade and the McAlpines Mitre 10 Mega's Christmas Party in the Park.

In a statement on its Facebook page on Tuesday, Rangiora Promotions said the team had been working hard to find a way to proceed, but had been forced to cancel the events.

"Unfortunately, much like many other businesses and events around the country, we are susceptible to the impacts of the current pandemic and it's associated alert level restrictions, the latter of which has made it logistically impossible for us to proceed as planned," it said.

"We are keenly aware of the impact the loss of these events will have on our community, as well as the disappointment our generous sponsors and supporters will feel. We are sad for all of the stall holders, float entries, vendors, entertainers and local businesses who have invested many hours and much effort. However, the difficult decision had to be made."

Let's hope these great community events can return in 2022!

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
