It contrasts to this week's heavy rain event, which caused significant flooding in some parts of Canterbury, but not in Flockton Basin.
Many put this down to the fact the Christchurch City Council has spent tens of millions of dollars in the past five years protecting those areas from flood waters.

Kiwi startup My Little Pub is taking backyard beers to a new level with their mini Irish, English and Scottish-themed pubs.
The business idea, hatched during the Covid-19 pandemic, came after Christchurch interior designer and My Little Pub founder Steve Rosling was asked by a friend to build a pub with Guinness on tap in his backyard, so he never had to leave home for his favourite draught again.
What do we think folks?

As a mostly volunteer-led organisation, our members know first hand the value and impact that a single volunteer can make in our communities. Imagine then how much can be achieved when several volunteers or even an entire street or neighbourhood decide to work together to achieve the same goal!
Whether you plan to coordinate your own volunteer driven activity, take part in one that’s already been setup, participate in National Volunteer Week (20-26 June), or simply show your own volunteers some extra love this month, know that every bit of effort to give back is a priceless investment in all of our futures.
Want to share your thoughts? Let us know how you’re getting involved this month by tagging us in your social media posts or emailing us your photos, videos, or experiences to:

If you can’t handle the heat, get a new kitchen.
The Christchurch City Mission’s social enterprise, Thrive Catering, is relieved to have moved to a new state-of-the-art commercial kitchen as it continues to provide cooking classes and other essential lessons to Christchurch’s most vulnerable.
Thrive offers work experience courses for City Mission clients who are trying to get back on their feet. They are given valuable cooking lessons and other life skills to better their prospects for the future, when the mission no longer provides direct support for them.
The charity's Hereford St base kitchen had become too small, meaning course capacity was limited and many were missing out on learning vital skills.

There will be thoudands of like groups wallowing through flooded driveways and streets looking after the needs of those no longer able to do for themselves.
Too numerous to list all just doing whatever is required to ensure the rest of us are OK. Hopefully behind another group seeing those front line teams are fed and get hot tea and coffee. Used to be either the Sallys or Red Cross Caravans manned by cheerful crews often giving up a warm bed to be there.
Press/Stuff hook a reporter to any one team and tell their story.
In the mean time <A BIG THANKS TO YOU ALL>

If you see rising water do not wait for official warnings. Head for higher ground and stay away from floodwater.
DO NOT TRAVEL IN FLOODED AREAS unless absolutely necessary. Never try to walk, swim or drive through flood water. Many flood fatalities are caused by people attempting to drive through water.
If water enters your home, turn off the electricity to avoid short-circuits sparking a fire.
Check on your neighbours and help anyone who might need assistance if it is safe to do so.
If someone’s life, health or property is in danger, call 111.
