Tawa Comes Together for Peace

Tawa Comes Together for Peace: Opening of the Tawa Peace Labyrinth


In a time when peace feels more precious than ever, the Tawa community is creating space for reflection, connection, and hope.

Join us on Sunday, 13 July at 10am in Coronation Park for the official opening of the Tawa Peace Labyrinth — a meaningful new feature built by Rotary Tawa to mark 50 years of service to our community.

The labyrinth, designed by Tawa College student Alastair Binns, is a symbol of life’s journey — with its twists and turns reminding us that even in uncertainty, there is always a way forward.

As part of Rotary’s global commitment to peacebuilding, this labyrinth reflects our belief that peace begins at home — in our neighbourhoods, our schools, and our shared spaces.

We invite you to come, explore, and reflect. Let this be a moment for Tawa to stand together — for peace, for understanding, and for a stronger, more connected community.

Coronation Park, Tawa
Sunday, 13 July
10:00 AM - 11.00 AM

Peace starts here — with us.

Poll: 🤖 What skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑

Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!
