Wish you a successful 2017, in which your dreams come true.

A few weeks back, I was accepted as a Trustee on the board of Riccarton House & Bush Trust. It is indeed an honour to be part of such a historic institution whose history is as old as our city's.
What is more, I was lucky that the last board meeting of the Trust for 2016 was held at Homebush Stables, which is past Darfield on the way to Mt. Hutt. What a place....soaked in history!

I would highly recommend anyone to visit this fascinating place - details are on their website.

Do you know how much water you use each day?

Media Team from Christchurch City Council

Wow! The average CHCH person uses the equivalent of 100 750ml water bottles for every person each day during summer! That’s a heap of water! BUT…if we could each reduce our water use by 1% we’d save about 1.8million litres a week – that’s 350,000 bottles a day!! Imagine what we could … View moreWow!

An online accommodation and activity guide has been developed for anyone with mobility issues.
 
Access4all is an accomodation and activity guide intended for use by anyone with mild to major mobility difficulties, and an undiminshed desire to travel. It has listings of motels, apartments, holiday parks and activties in most of the major NZ destinations. More are being added all the time.


Every property listed includes an option of 1 or 2 bedroom accommodation for travellers with family members and/or caregivers
It is a graphic guide - its aim above all is to give impaired mobility vacationers confidence by showing what need to know places (especially bathrooms, entrance areas, bedrooms, surroundings) and activities are like. When people using the guide find what suits, bookings can be made directly from the site.

Did you know?

Media Team from Christchurch City Council

In the last five years in Christchurch there have been 20 deaths and 119 serious injury road crashes caused by alcohol and speed. The majority of those at fault were male.
Don’t become a statistic. Think before you drink.
