How do I get fibre broadband at my home?
Easy! Just call your broadband retailer and ask to be switched to fibre broadband - you can check it's available first by going to our website www.enable.net.nz...
If you're in our coverage area, your retailer will contact us and we'll call you to arrange this in three steps. If you own your own home and don't share a driveway, usually fibre connections will go something like this:
1. PLAN - meet you at your home to agree a plan on how to get fibre to your home
2. BUILD - you don't need to be home for this, we'll do the build we agreed on
3. CONNECT! We'll visit your home again to finish setting up your fibre broadband connection.
Better yet - if you're in the Christchurch City Council area, order fibre before 30 November and you'll go in the draw to win one of ten $100 gift vouchers to Christchurch stores. www.enable.net.nz...
⚠️ 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 ❤️
