Asians on Screen; Final Frontier

Mary from Redwood

Hello good neighbours, the following event is coming to Christchurch and it would be awesome to give support to a Redwood raised young lady if you can make it.

Have you ever wondered why there aren’t many Asians in movies or T.V shows but the ones that appear on screen occasionally only play the stereotyped “Asian” roles?

Future Dragonz Christchurch is proud to present “Asians on Screen: the Final Frontier", proudly supported by the New Zealand Film Commission.

We are thrilled to have award winning New Zealand actress and playwright Alice Canton and Raymond Suen from the NZ Film Commission to discuss the awkward, confusing and downright hilarious questions around Asian representation in theatre and screen.


We will have free nibbles and would love to see you there and hear your thoughts.

When: 6 pm Tuesday 4 July 2017
Where: Upper Riccarton Library Community Room, 71 Main South Road.

Please RSVP your FREE ticket by clicking on this link here:
www.eventbrite.com... the venue has limited capacity so please RSVP and bring your ticket via printout or smart phone to the venue.

Who would have thought walking could have been so dangerous!

Melissa from Emergency Cards Limited

Wow!

In 2022 there were 33 fatal crashes, 245 serious injury crashes, and 590 minor injury crashes where pedestrians were involved.

In these crashes, 34 people walking died, 240 people walking were seriously injured, and 595 people walking suffered minor injuries.
Most injuries occur in the young (5 - 29yrs), then 50+yrs, with the highest number of child pedestrians injured between 2pm and 4pm, followed by 4pm to 6pm and 8am to 10am.

Emergency Cards and Tags, ensure first responders have instant access to crucial medical details if any, and can notify loved ones much faster, providing peace of mind when every minute counts.
Protect someone you love and give yourself peace of mind that should an accident or medical event occur, you can be contacted without delay.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
