It was nice to have a Community Board meeting after a while, even if it was via Zoom. This was one step closer to having a 'public community board meeting'.
In March, the Council temporarily revoked the Board delegations in response to the Government’s announcement the country was going into COVID-19 Alert Level 4 lockdown, which meant there were no Community Board meetings since then.

As a result of the announcement that New Zealand will be entering Level 2 this week, we are pleased to advise that our office will be back open to the public from Thursday 9am onwards.
We ask that all clients entering our office maintain at least a 1m distance from our staff and each other, and that you sanitise your hands on arrival (hand sanitiser will be available at the front desk).
This means that we can now resume face-to-face consultations with clients in person, and we can therefore take appointments for meetings with our advisers as normal. However, for anyone who wishes to continue social distancing as much as possible, we are still offering online Skype and Zoom meetings in addition to physical meetings. This option will be given to all clients upon booking, so please just let us know which option you prefer and we will be happy to accommodate your preference.

Thank you all for your continued support and we hope to see some of you this Thursday.

Hello everyone,

Our cat Marley went missing 12 days ago and he hasn’t returned home yet (he’s never done this before).

If you see him, or you have him please get in touch as we are desperate to have our fur baby back home with us. 😔

Please check your sheds, garages, gardens and under your deck in case he is hiding anywhere and too scared to come out.

I will attach a link below of the post I have put all over Facebook (this includes images of him and a little explanation)

www.facebook.com...

He is a grey and white domestic short hair kitty. 18 months old, desexed, microchipped.

He is extremely loved and missed.

Please share around to help us get our Marley home to us safe and sound.

Thank you everyone

Dear Canterbury and the West Coast - ANZAC Day will look a little different for us this year - however there are many ways for you to acknowledge the incredible men and women who have served our communities and given their lives for our country.

We invite you to share a memory or photo to commemorate this special day on Neighbourly below. It could be a story of a member in your family who served - or perhaps the way you and your family celebrate ANZAC Day each year. (It might even be a photo of your freshly baked can't be-beaten ANZAC cookies).

We also invite you to take part in Stand at Dawn and join us at 6:00 am on Saturday 25 April. Stand at your letterbox, at the front door, in your lounge rooms, balconies, in your driveway. Wherever you are in the world, stand with us and take a moment to remember our fallen – but please stay within your ‘bubble’.

Resene is proud to be supporting the 17th annual NZ Art Show - this year with a twist! More than 150 emerging contemporary artists are set to inspire any art collector in this dynamic virtual exhibition.

All artists have been selected by a panel of experts, promising quality and talent deserved of any collection. Art lovers can be assured that they can purchase with confidence, liaising directly with the artists.
