Halloween Colouring Competition
While we were disappointed to have to postpone the Bayswater Halloween Trail until Friday 1st April 2022, we wanted to provide some fun and entertainment to our local tamariki in the meantime!
Colour or decorate one of our four spooky designs, then display it in your window or somewhere else that is visible from the street, like your fence. Take a photo of your beautiful work and send it in to us via email: devonportcommunity@gmail.com or or upload it to the comments on this Facebook post for a chance to win a prize!
You can download all four designs from the link here:
www.devonportpeninsulatrust.nz...
Or if you don't have a printer at home, there are hard copies available from the Devonport Community House and The Rose Centre.
The winner will be chosen at random and announced on Facebook on 1st November.
Make sure to go for a hīkoi on 31st of October to spot the Halloween colouring in around your neighbourhood!
Lastly, follow the Bayswater Halloween Trail event on Facebook for updates, and don't forget to buy your Halloween costumes now while they are available in shops!
We can't wait to see all your spooky creativity,
The DPT rōpū.

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
