Tuesday 27th September - Local Election candidates meeting
Hello,
We remind you to "book in" Tuesday the 27th of September for the GBRAI Local Body Candidates meeting at the Brooklyn Community Centre. We will have (hopefully) a full slate of candidates for:
# the two seats for the Southern Ward / Paekawakawa
# Mayor
# Greater Wellington Regional Council
We strongly encourage your attendance to observe, question and listen to those standing again and those standing to take a seat at council.
As well, I have attached a list from WCC website of other candidates meeting around the city (as at 12/08/2022):
Community candidate events

Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut
This Wednesday, we are having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with John Bracewell from Crewcut.
John Bracewell, former Black Caps coach turned Franchisee Development Manager and currently the face of Crewcut’s #Movember campaign, knows a thing or two about keeping the grass looking sharp—whether it’s on a cricket pitch or in your backyard!
As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.
