Meet Parminder Singh (Punjabi) who shares his journey with Te Whare Wānanga o Awanuiārangi:
“Studying in the Pōkaitahi Reo programme has allowed me to develop a totally beautiful and unique relationship with Māori communities. The learning has helped my work to bridge gaps between Māori and others in our multicultural communities. When I look back, I feel really proud. It’s a great feeling when I speak te reo Māori. It’s a privilege.”

The purpose of the Animals Bylaw is to provide for the ownership of animals (excluding dogs) in a way that protects the public from nuisance and maintains and promotes public health and safety. Dogs are controlled under a separate Dog Management Bylaw, which will be reviewed in 2023.
A range options for the management of cats have been considered as part of this bylaw being reviewed. However, there is no national legislation that would give Council powers to regulate cats the way we regulate dogs. Non-bylaw approaches to cat management, such as funding and education, are discussed as part of the review.
You can find the full statement of proposal (20 pages) and a summary of the changes (6 pages), along with the tools to send your feedback, at this link:

Consultation on the Animals Bylaw runs from 3 November – 3 December 2021.

During the 2020 lockdown, she gave away over 140kg in fruit from her home orchard. This year, she didn’t have fruit to swap but her vegetable garden was packed with winter crops. “I had masses of broccoli, cauliflower, kale, silverbeet and French sorrel. So I gave out a lot of parcels of those to anyone I knew who needed it.”
