GREAT COMMUNITY PULLING TOGETHER. for Dogs
On Friday the start of the new dog shelter at the Whangarei Public Dog Park. It’s been a huge effort to get this we need to thank Gary from the Dog Wash on Selwyn Ave he has organised this with Tony Gill they both had spent hours of work voluntary with a few other helpers who donated goods.
Without the Dog Wash the dog park would still have a small shade sail pretending to be a shelter. Tony calls the new shelter a “carport”, yes it does look like one at the moment, until we get some more money for sides. Hopefully we will be able to have sides soon. However we need the fundraise ideas/funds, to be built over summertime and any other improvements. Any Donation could be deposited into; ASB Bank, Account name - Whangarei Public Dog Park. Account number - 123099 0025171 00
We will put up a full list of sponsors and helpers soon; Dog Wash, Hirepool, CoreSteel, Afare Catering, Hawthon Geddes, Gary Jeeves, Tony Gill, Whangarei District Council, Whangarei Public Dog Park Committee and our community.
Thanks for the HUGE team effort. This shows the Whangarei Public Dog Park is so important to the Whangarei Community, some people who have support us don’t own a dog.
THANKS.
Thanks Tony Gill

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
