Poll: Do you use a top sheet on your bed?

Stacey Reporter from Stuff

Along with landline phones and bar soap, top sheets are allegedly an "endangered species".

It's a topic of discussion that crops up every year or so and in some places, using a top sheet when you make your bed is almost unheard of. What's your preference?

Come along to the Wellington waterfront tomorrow night at 6pm for Ahi Kā - Matariki ki Pōneke 2019. The opening processions for this year’s Matariki celebration, Nga Wai Piāta (Streams of Light), and learn about the journey urban fish take.

“After hatching, we swim downstream and emerge in the harbour where we live for part of our life cycle. After about 3 to 5 months we begin our journey back to where we came from, which in some cases means overcoming stormwater pipes, concrete shoots and culverts. This task involves us using our strong pelvic fins to grip tight to things such as tree roots to make our way back upstream.” Banded Kōkupu.

Around the world, communities, schools, businesses, groups and people from all walks of life are taking big and small steps in solidarity with refugees. This World Refugee Day, we challenge everyone in New Zealand to join together and take a step to make a difference.

You can take part in the #StepWithRefugees campaign, where participants will collectively walk, run and cycle 1 billion miles - the distance refugees cover each year to reach safety, by adding your steps here: stepwithrefugees.org...

Another option is to volunteer with the New Zealand Red Cross as a Refugee Support Volunteer. Volunteers help families start again, while teaching them about New Zealand culture and connecting them with people from the community.

For anyone based in the Wairarapa, Masterton Neighbourhood Support has a programme called 'WeConnect' that matches new residents from diverse backgrounds including refugees to a local buddy. If you're interested in volunteering or supporting the programme in other ways you can email Masterton Neighbourhood Support Area Coordinator, Cathy Cameron, at: cathy@connectingcommunities.org.nz

Ahi Kā - Matariki ki Pōneke 2019

The Team from Wellington Water

We share our capital city with some surprising friends – native fish! Beneath our feet run a maze of drains and streams that our migratory native fish such as the Banded Kōkopu & Koaro have to overcome to reach open streams in the city’s hills.
Just because we put streams into pipes, doesn’t mean they don’t deserve mana.

It’s important that we’re conscious of what we pour into our stormwater pipes and gutters in our city as it negatively impacts the fish moving through them.

Come and meet the fish at Ahi Kā - Matariki ki Pōneke 2019
