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: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ☕
Wellington’s identity is built on its cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures, and it’s a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.
We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️
We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?

Some Choice News!
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!
