"Where the Fairies Live - Kaipātiki" is now open!
There are 110 fairy doors to find across the Kaipātiki Local Board area, divided into 5 entry forms!
You can view/download the forms from here, or pick up hard copies from your local community centre.
To enter, you simply need to find the park, locate the door, record the door number on the entry form beside the corresponding park.
Find as many as you can before Friday 29 March, then drop off your form to your local community centre.
NOTE: All doors are located close to the pathway, so please don't trample our planted green spaces. There are no doors in any parks closed for kauri dieback prevention.
For more information, stay tuned to the Kaipatiki Local Board facebook page, or on your local community centre page.
A huge thanks to the Birkdale Beach Haven Community Project INC for planning and co-ordinating this, along with Bayview Community Centre, Glenfield Community Centre, Highbury Community House and Early Learning Centre, Kaipatiki Community Facilities Trust, and all of the volunteers involved!
Funded by the Kaipatiki Local Board via our community grants scheme :)
What workplace change would you like to see most?
This coming Monday is Labour Day in New Zealand. This public holiday marks when the eight-hour workday and 48-hour workweek became law in 1899. The idea started with Samuel Parnell, a carpenter in Wellington, who in 1840 refused to work more than eight hours a day. Since skilled workers were in short supply, his employer had to agree.
As more skilled workers arrived, employers tried to change working conditions, but Parnell and others kept pushing for better rights. In 1890, Parnell led a Labour Day parade of 1,500 people to promote the eight-hour day. He passed away shortly after, and nine years later, Labour Day became an official public holiday.
