Public vigil and 'march for love' all set for Christchurch this weekend
Three teenagers are planning a march in Christchurch this weekend to "spread love" in the city after Friday's tragic shootings.
St Andrew's College students Ella Clearwater, Marshall Setu and Manaia Butler, all 16, are organising the March for Love event on Saturday at North Hagley Park.
Rolleston Ave would close so the group could march from North Hagley Park to the flowers outside the botanic gardens. The march will start at 10am.
Scott Esdaile is organising another event called Remember Those Who Lost Their Lives 15-3-19 on Sunday from 5pm to 7pm, also at North Hagley Park.
The event was originally planned for Tuesday in Cathedral Square but it was postponed until Thursday, then again until Saturday, out of respect for the Muslim community.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
