Merry Christmas from the Papanui Innes Community Board!
Kia ora Papanui Innes!
What a fantastic year it’s been out here in our neighbourhood!
We at the Papanui Innes Community Board and Council want to thank you all for another amazing year with our one-of-a-kind community!
This year’s wins have highlighted the importance of a strong community.
Our amazing volunteers have done some incredible work, including the Edgeware Village Beautification Project.
The work done by the volunteers at the Matariki Dawn Planting Day and the Ouruhia Reserve planting event was amazing.
We celebrated our green thumbed neighbours at the Great Seed and Plant Swap at Papanui Library and at the Edible Garden Awards.
We are so grateful for all of your support in the community, and we cannot wait to see what 2019 brings for us.
Meri Kirihimete and happy holidays!
From the Papanui Innes Community Board and the Christchurch City Council

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
