Introducing our AMI Community Grant Finalists
This is day number six of showcasing two of our AMI Community Grant finalists to share a bit more about the great work that they're doing in Kiwi communities. You can help support these organisations by voting for them to win their share of $20,000.
South Canterbury Child Restraint Rentals
Car seat hire schemes were abandoned in New Zealand after 35 years of support. We think that it is important to have seats available to families with children visiting from out of town or overseas. Without a local rental scheme, they would need to purchase brand new car seats to only be used for a few weeks. The few seats we have at the moment are due to expire next year - we need to build up stock! VOTE NOW!
Students working to make walkways safe
Students from Murrays Bay Primary School and Intermediate School have worked with the New Zealand Police and Auckland Transport in an effort to encourage students to walk to school. Students have designed a logo that Auckland Transport have made into a stencil. The students want to use this logo on safe walkways to their schools. They need funds for the paint and brushes to do this. VOTE NOW!
What's your favourite tomato recipe?
Kia ora neighbours. We know your tomato plants are still growing, but we're looking ahead to the harvest already! If you've got a family recipe for tomatoes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine to share with our readers. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our February 2025 issue.
Hīkoi to parliament
Traffic heading into Wellington City has eased, however motorists should continue to expect significant delays in the city.
Hīkoi mō te Tiriti has reached Waitangi Park, with Police reporting no issues from this morning’s movements.
Another group of about 2000 people from the Hutt Valley began arriving at the Wellington Railway Station at around 8:30am.
The hīkoi is expected to begin their walk to Parliament along the Golden Mile (Courtenay Place, Manners Street, Willis Street and Lambton Quay) at 9am.
