Jacquin Trio concert
The Chamber Gallery in the Rangiora library is a beautiful venue for the Waimakariri Community Arts Council's final week night concert of the year, and it’s going to be amazing.
This London based trio who are noted for their fun, passionate and energetic performances will thrill you with music by Mozart and Schumann, Max Bruch, a piece written just for them by Charlotte Bray AND a wonderful piece by New Zealander Gillian Whitehead!
I think these three women are absolute live wires! Here is a quote that says it all, “.. they roared through it in a way that was intoxicating for the audience… They are marvellous performers.” Strings Attached Music.
WEDNESDAY 9th October

Adults $30

Tickets are available from the library beforehand or you may let us know and we will have one waiting for you at the front table.
Be there or miss out? I’d rather be there! Ka kite!

What workplace change would you like to see most?
This coming Monday is Labour Day in New Zealand. This public holiday marks when the eight-hour workday and 48-hour workweek became law in 1899. The idea started with Samuel Parnell, a carpenter in Wellington, who in 1840 refused to work more than eight hours a day. Since skilled workers were in short supply, his employer had to agree.
As more skilled workers arrived, employers tried to change working conditions, but Parnell and others kept pushing for better rights. In 1890, Parnell led a Labour Day parade of 1,500 people to promote the eight-hour day. He passed away shortly after, and nine years later, Labour Day became an official public holiday.
Do you feel that we have reached the ideal in working environments yet? What rights are you passionate about relating to employment? Share your thoughts!
