Trophies and certificates were presented to the winners in our beautiful community at an event held yesterday. The event was organised by Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood community board. Looking at the photos on display, the judges would have had a tough job on their hands choosing the winners.

Ron Andrew, President of Christchurch Beautifying Association told the gathering that the judges went through over 4000 streets to "locate" gardens who were worthy of shortlisting.
Some glimpses from the wonderful event, which was well attended by members of our community. Credit for all photos: Aaron Campbell.

This is the 27th year these awards have been running.

Surviving 7.8 - the story of New Zealand's response to the Kaikoura earthquake

HarperCollins

It was one of the most violent earthquakes ever felt. Arriving by stealth after midnight on November 4th, the magnitude 7.8 Kaikoura earthquake and its aftershocks shook NZ’s heartland to its core and creative a damage zone of epic proportions.

It was one of the most violent earthquakes ever felt. Arriving by stealth after midnight on November 4th, the magnitude 7.8 Kaikoura earthquake and its aftershocks shook NZ’s heartland to its core and creative a damage zone of epic proportions.

Radio NZ’s Phil Pennington was on the job minutes after the earthquake, capturing the drama as it unfolded. His book, Surviving 7.8, is a tough but fascinating study of resilience. It includes stories from the people affected – locals and tourists alike – covering the immediate reaction, the uncertainty and the turmoil, as well as the do-it-yourself attitude and steely resolve that defines who we are as Kiwis.

Sales of Surviving 7.8 support the New Zealand Red Cross November 2016 Earthquake Appeal.

This is the second day of showcasing two of our AMI Community Grant finalists to share a bit more about the great work that they're doing in Kiwi communities. You can help support these organisations by voting for them to win their share of $20,000.

North Shore Initial Response Trust
Every week we voluntarily train to prepare for disasters when emergency services require additional support in searches for missing people, sandbagging to protect properties from flooding, and helping limit damage to people and properties following events such as tornadoes, storms and tsunamis. As a group of volunteers, we are not paid for any of this activity. Since the equipment is exposed to extreme weather events and difficult environments, it regularly needs to be replaced. There is some vital equipment we are in need of in order to be able to continue our dedicating our time to helping keep people safe. VOTE NOW!

Riverton Community Garden Project
Our goal is to create a self-funding, sustainable food producing garden that can eventually start to give back to those most in need within our community, such as struggling families, and the elderly. We rely on various age groups to look after the garden, including the Riverton Primary School, Aparima College (local high school) and Riverton Childcare and other local volunteers. We are seeking funding to establish infrastructure to support the garden for many years to come. VOTE NOW!
