The Voices of Women
This International Women’s Day (IWD) you are invited to hear from an EPIC panel of wāhine who will share their insights into amplifying our voices in local government.
This year's IWD theme is #balanceforbetter so we’ll look at why we need to increase the number of women in elected roles and how we can support them.
We’ll discuss how each of us can encourage and support friends / whanau and our own communities to vote this year.
Finally, we’ll find out how we can influence better social and environmental outcomes for our communities.
Please register your attendance (through eventfinda or by emailing politicsinthetron@gmail.com).
Entry is by koha to help cover costs. Any additional proceeds will go towards Elect Women! a free practical workshop being held on May 4th to help Waikato women prepare their campaign for the October elections.
Great things happen when we collaborate so please tautoko our thanks to DV Bryant; Free FM; Go Eco; The Meteor and the YWCA for supporting this event.

Poll: Do you think a partial demolition is the right call?
One of the most recognisable buildings at Waikato Diocesan School for Girls could be demolished, except for part of the façade.
The school is asking for resource consent to knock down most of the earthquake-prone Cherrington House as part of plans to build a larger, safer administration block.
Do you think a partial demolition is the right call? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).

‘Devastated’ Lake Taupō Aqua Park owners first casualty of gold clams
The owners of a once popular water park are “absolutely devastated” after becoming the first casualty of freshwater gold clams in the Waikato region.
Lake Taupō Aqua Park will permanently close as a way to ensure the elimination of freshwater clams after being temporarily shuttered in March when Biosecurity New Zealand discovered the presence of the invasive species in the lagoon.
