Good People

On Thursday the 18th July at 6pm, WFS will be screening the British musical comedy, Greatest Days.

Our 8pm screening is the award-winning tale of two young men fighting for their freedom, Io Capitano.

GREATEST DAYS
UK, 2023, Comedy, Musical
108 mins, Rated PG 13 (strong language)
Cast: Aisling Bea, Emma Amos, Matthew McNulty.

In the mid 1990s, a group of teen girls live out their dream when they all sneak out to see their favourite boy band play live in concert.

Twenty-five years later, all their lives have changed and the group has lost touch. But then, Rachel, the leader of the group, wins tickets to see the boy band performing their reunion tour.

It's one more epic show for the long lost friends to all see and a chance for the women to reunite and reignite their friendship and discover that maybe, their greatest days are ahead of them.

A blast of feelgood reunion excitement. Don't miss it. - The Guardian
Showing at Forum North, 7 Rust Ave Whangarei

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!
