Collett's Corner
Kia ora koutou
Are you curious to know what is happening on Collett's Corner? The architects are presenting early stage plans for local feedback Oct 30th at the Lyttelton Community Board Room (25 Canterbury St).
The purpose of this design workshop is two fold: the designers will walk the audience through the concept plans and answer questions; and they will host a workshop to brainstorm ideas for the design of the courtyard.
This meeting is also for to people who dream of owning their own business in Lyttelton, it is a good time to attend and ask questions about the building. The design is at the stage where prospective tenants can input on the plans and shape the building to meet their business needs.
The building will have a restaurant, hot baths, shops, a coworking space, apart-hotel, cinema and bar. If you would like to run one of these businesses please come and if you can't make it to the meeting please get in touch, we would like to meet with you.
What word sums up 2024, neighbours?
If 2020 was the year of lockdowns, banana bread, and WFH (work from home)....
In one word, how would you define 2024?
We're excited to see what you come up with!
We're talking new year resolutions...
Tidying the house before going to bed each night, meditating upon waking or taking the stairs at work.
What’s something quick, or easy, that you started doing that made a major positive change in your life?
⚠️ 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 ❤️
