Mother of All Clean Up River Event 2023 on Sat 13th May
Somerfield Residents Association is once again, delighted to be part of the annual Mother Of All Clean Ups event.
We will be meeting & having a debrief at 10 am at the Barrington St / Cashmere Rd bridge.
This is a great & fun annual community event organised by the Opawaho- Heathcote River Network & annually supported by our SRA Committee for tidying up the beautiful Ernle Clark Reserve banks!!
Thanks to Glenda Megget & our SRA organising team for assisting with this event once again!
No one is allowed to enter the river for rubbish- however, a record will be kept of any rubbish in the river & will be picked up by CCC staff after.
BYO gloves - otherwise there may be some spare gloves & bags etc provided.
Children are most welcome but need to be closely supervised by parents or care givers please.
We look forward to seeing you all on Saturday 13th May 2023!!
Best way to use leftovers?
I'm sure you've got some excess ham at home or cold roast potatoes.
What are some of your favourite ways to use leftover food from Christmas day? Share below.
⚠️ 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 ❤️
