Maia Mariner — Founder Lazy Sneakers

At the age of 12, Maia set up the Lazy Sneakers charity to rehome used sneakers to children in need.

Maia will talk about what motivated her and reflections as a young woman of Maori and Pasifika heritage. An impressive young woman, now in her first year at Queen Margaret’s College.

Hiria Te Rangi — Kaiwhakahaere (CEO) Whare Hauora

Hiria loves her community and loves technology, so leading Whare Hauora was a natural role for her.

Whare Hauora goes into Marae, community centres and schools to teach low-income families about Whare Sensors, how to build them and how they can help whanau make informed decisions about how their home affects their health.

With 20 years in technical and business roles spanning open data, open source, digital technologies and infrastructure, Hiria relishes her role and the difference Wharehauora can make in Aotearoa

Is this the best way to spend a birthday?

Georgia Reporter from Stuff

Hi neighbours,

How sweet is Joan Hodgins? The Kāpiti woman recently celebrated her 90th birthday by treating 34 children to a day of adventure - which included Scenic flights, a trip to Wellington Zoo and a ride on a double-decker "party bus". It was a day that rewarded children who had… View more
Hi neighbours,

How sweet is Joan Hodgins? The Kāpiti woman recently celebrated her 90th birthday by treating 34 children to a day of adventure - which included Scenic flights, a trip to Wellington Zoo and a ride on a double-decker "party bus". It was a day that rewarded children who had overcome tough times, Hodgins said.

"I thought that instead of having a lavish birthday party I could do something for children with difficulties. After all, if you're fortunate, isn't it nice to give to someone else?" To read more about Joan's story, click here.

Bird breeding season means it's also trapping pests season!

Community Engagement Advisor from Greater Wellington Regional Council

Right now it’s bird breeding season, which means extra vigilance when trapping! The number of rats, stoats, and other bird predators you’re trapping may well go down as there are plenty of baby birds for them to dine out on instead of trap bait ☹️ So it’s really important to increase the … View moreRight now it’s bird breeding season, which means extra vigilance when trapping! The number of rats, stoats, and other bird predators you’re trapping may well go down as there are plenty of baby birds for them to dine out on instead of trap bait ☹️ So it’s really important to increase the effectiveness of these traps by clearing them much more often! This is the best thing you can do for the birds in your area between October and December.

Yesterday my husband had to brake sharply to avoid going into a car that turned into the right hand lane instead of keeping left. We were on the left lane and the driver turned right in front of us so was on our left lane instead on being on the right lane. He was left quite shaken after the incident and so was I. The driver (a resident of the road) did not even seemed perturbed. This is not the first time this has happened but I am hoping it is the last. To avoid nasty accident keep left when turning into roads. Thankyou

Queen-sized mattress, very comfortable

Hi everyone - Just to let you know that you have until Wednesday 28th to respond to public space design proposals for the Karori Town Centre.
Council has allocated $1 million for improvements to our Town Centre. A community working group has been working with Council staff to come up with four proposals to consider – with more details available on wellington.govt.nz...
Please do feel absolutely free to comment more broadly on your thoughts about other issues related to our Town Centre, because clearly we will need to do more than just these public space improvements. You might want to include any thoughts about transport, movement, parking and safety; or the future uses and design of the St Johns site; commercial development opportunities; completing the Karori Community Events Centre; or ways of creating greater identity and character and bringing more life into our Town Centre (etc). There is work being done on many of these other elements too. All this collectively is aimed at improving our Town Centre, making it more of a livable and attractive heart of our community.

We will look forward to getting your feedback. Kind regards Andy
