What's your 2018 Community Resolution?

Matthew Salmons Reporter from Christchurch Mail

2017 is nearly done, 2018 is coming in hot. This New Years we want to know what your resolutions are in your community. Are you thinking of starting a new club? Want to encourage volunteering? Got something you want to share with you neighbours? What do you want where you live?
I'm sure not eating as much sugar is a noble pursuit, but we want to see goals which better your whole community (not just your waistline).
We really want to know because we want to share your resolutions this year so that at the end of it we can check back in and see how it went. How you made a difference in your community.
Let us know your Community Resolution by emailing matthew.salmons@fairfaxmedia.co.nz and we'll be in touch.
HAPPY NEW YEARS!

Poll: Should drivers retake the theory test every 10 years?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).
Do you think drivers should be required to take a quick driving theory test every 10 years?

Vote in the poll and share any road rules that you've seen bent! 😱

Gerda Takes On Te Reo Maori!

Anthony Wilding Retirement Village

This year Te Wiki o te Reo Māori, Māori Language Week, is being held from September 16 to 23. It’s an important week encouraging all of Aotearoa to use te reo Māori in everyday life. Similarly, Mahuru Māori promotes speaking and celebrating te reo throughout the month of September.

Over the last couple of years, Gerda, a resident at Diana Isaac Village in Christchurch, has grown her Māori vocabulary by attending the virtual monthly te reo Māori classes offered to Ryman residents. This group learning environment is run by Anita Gill from Te Puna Reo Māori, a Māori online learning provider.
