Diamond Harbour Playcentre has unveiled a new pou that was gifted by the community to the centre on September 15.

Local Wally Hemapo donated an old telephone pole to be used specifically as a pou. He carved a beautiful depiction of a “mother and baby” koru wrapped in a korowai at the top of the pou.

Local artist Rebecca Gibbs painted the pou, with help from tamariki from the centre.

“Rebecca designed a beautiful harakeke to represent our playcentre whānau, with the ocean, mountains, river and land in the background. The centre tamariki filled in background areas with colourful fingerprints,” Olivia Sinclair, Diamond Harbour Playcentre member Olivia Sinclair said.

“Several playcentre whānau were also instrumental in making this project happen."

Playcentre Aotearoa’s kaiwhakahaere hononga Māori (Māori relationship manager) Erana Rattray said it was "wonderful to be able to weave te reo me ōna tikanga Māori throughout the ceremony and for playcentre tamariki and their whānau to experience our rich culture, connecting the centre to the wider community".

Residents who have enrolled to vote should expect voting papers to arrive in their letter boxes between September 16 and 21, Christchurch City Council electoral officer Jo Daly says.

Voting opens today (September 16) and closes at noon on October 8.

“Each enrolled voter will receive an information and candidate profiles booklet, a voting paper and a pre-paid return envelope," Daly said.

"Voters will be able to choose a mayoral candidate, a ward councillor and community board members and Environment Canterbury councillors in their ward.”

Find your ward and community board: www.ccc.govt.nz...

“Once you have decided which of the candidates you wish to vote for, please complete your voting form, put it in the pre-paid return envelope and post or deliver it.

"When posting, voting documents should be mailed no later than 5pm on October 4 to guarantee delivery before the close of voting."

Completed voting documents can also be hand delivered during opening hours to ballot boxes at the Civic Offices, 53 Hereford St or to your nearest council library or service centre.
