Looking to spice up your life with a lovely canine companion? Cajun is the girl for you.

This 5-year-old beauty in Dunedin is sugar and spice and all things nice - and she's awfully smart, too.

Cajun has been very easy to train and it would be great for her to find a family who will be able to continue with her training. An experienced owner would also be ideal, as she has a lot of energy!

A loyal and happy dog, Cajun is sure to make a great companion - she just needs to find her person.

Can you be Cajun's Christmas hero? For more info on her, please contact the SPCA in Dunedin at 03 473 8252.

The Team from ACC New Zealand

With warmer weather heading our way, gardening is a great way to stay fit and get regular doses of Vitamin D to help strengthen our bones.

The Home Safety checklist will give you practical tips on how to avoid falls, sprains and strains while pulling those stubborn weeds. For example, when you’re gardening avoid heavy lifting and use long-handled tools so you’re not bending over for long periods. Steady yourself when bending and standing, no pesky weed is worth falling for!

A new movement called Live Stronger for Longer is helping to reduce the risk of falls by providing practical information and free resources. We want to help you stay on your feet, and living the life you want to live.

Take the home safety checklist with your friends and family and join the movement today.

Proudly brought to you by ACC, HQ&SC, MOH and your local community health providers.

Flood-prone South Dunedin's future depends on science not propaganda

Nicole Reporter from Dunedin News

The future of low-lying South Dunedin is in the hands of science, not those who misinterpret or politicise its flooding problems.

Often when South Dunedin flooded, it was held up as the exemplar of what climate change induced sea-level rise might look like in New Zealand.

The future of low-lying South Dunedin is in the hands of science, not those who misinterpret or politicise its flooding problems.

Often when South Dunedin flooded, it was held up as the exemplar of what climate change induced sea-level rise might look like in New Zealand.

However, there were other factors behind the suburb's vulnerability to flooding that were being ignored, including run-off from Dunedin's hills.
