Parihaka Day screening: Tātarakihi: The Children of Parihaka
By popular request, the Canterbury Film Society is delighted to offer a repeat screening of Tātarakihi: The Children of Parihaka on 5 November at 2pm at Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o Waiwhetu, corner Montreal & Gloucester Streets. Speaker is Ngapera Teitinga-Moeahu from Parihaka. Rating GA. Running time 65 mins.
Tātarakihi tells the story of a 'journey of memory' taken by Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Tamarongo following in the footsteps of their ancestors who were imprisoned in the South Island after the Taranaki land confiscations of the 1860s.
Entry is by KOHA (donation). Seating is on first-come-first-served basis, but priority seating will be given to those who missed out last time. (Suggest you come early and put your something on a seat to reserve one; we 'sold out' last time.) Food and drink will be sold as a fundraiser for Canterbury Film Society.

⚠️ 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 ❤️
Greed and townhouses.
Any council that allows a new building permit without requiring at least one carpark (if not two) should be charged for pandering to developers and builders greed. A recent report indicating a lot of townhouses are on the market now because owners/occupiers are leaving/selling to move to places with carparks. And anybody with even the smallest degree of intelligence will be well aware of the worldwide hassles with charging EVs where there is/are nowhere to park in an evening while charging. This has been known about for years now. The cure for this is instead of building 6 townhouses you only build 4 or 5. So it boils down to greed and a total lack of planning on behalf of those meant to be doing this sort of stuff for us.
Apple customer service
My iPad recently had one of the automatic Apple upgrades but thereafter the recent (important) information on my ‘Notes’ icon had disappeared leaving only very early stuff. Does anyone know where I can find an Apple technician to try to sort it out?
