A day off work!
Nau mai haere mai e te tī, e te tā,
Yay, a day off work!
On the 6th of February 1840, the Treaty of Waitangi was signed by Rangatira Māori and representatives of the Crown.
2020 is the 180th anniversary of the signing of the Waitangi Treaty.
Waitangi Day gets its name from the name of the treaty document.

The public holiday falls on a Thursday this year, and there's plenty going on around Auckland. For example:
°
Summer Vibes North Shore Festival
Summer Vibes is the first event of its kind at Awataha Marae, which you'll find behind AUT North Shore Campus.
There will be entertainment from local and international acts, a kids' zone and the chance to learn about te reo and Waitangi.
The event is being put on in association with Auckland Council and Waitangi ki Tamaki Collective and will run from 10am until 4pm.
°
Sundown Sessions
ASB Showgrounds is being turned into an inner-city beach for Waitangi Day, complete with 100 tonnes of sand.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?

After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
