🎄🎄CALLING ALL CREATIVE TREE-MAKERS🎄🎄

Jamie Dobson from Hutt City Council

Our About Space programme is bringing back the Re-Tree exhibition for Christmas on High 2021!

We’re looking for creative individuals or community groups to make Christmas trees from recycled material - you might be an artist, or just love Christmas 🎅

Your masterpiece will be part of a free pop-up exhibition, running from 6-23 December in a vacant store in the CBD.

Preferably you’ll be designing with your own found materials, but we have some limited vouchers for Earthlink to get some tree-makers started with reused materials. We also have some mini-trees, made from off-cuts from our annual Street Trees to be your canvas for painting or decoration 🎨

If this sounds like you, email aboutspace@huttcity.govt.nz to find out how to get involved.

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)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
