Every time you give away an unneutered kitten to someone, that kitten has a high chance of having babies itself. Sometimes those babies wander off, or get dumped later in life - if you aren't desexing your pets you are directly contributing to the number of stray and neglected animals in NZ. You are part of the problem.
Too pricey? The SPCA will desex AND microchip your kitties for free. Please do your bit. Click the link for more info and to register.

International Women’s Day (8 March) is a day for women to join voices with people around the world and shout our message for equal rights loud and clear: “Women’s rights are human rights!” Franklin will celebrate IWD on Saturday March 6th 2021
We celebrate all women, in all their diversities. We embrace their facets and intersections of faith, race, ethnicity, gender or sexual identity and disability. We celebrate those who came before us, those who stand beside us now, and those who will come after.
It’s a time to celebrate the achievements of women, whether social, political, economic or cultural. BPW Franklin would like to hear of remarkable women who have contributed to the community in any way. If you know of a woman, particularly one who has come to NZ from another country, who could be recognised for her contribution to our society please notify bpwfranklinsec@gmail.com.
As it is an International Day as many countries as possible need to be represented. The more countries present the better Franklin will be demonstrate its inclusiveness. To date, people attending are from Argentina, Thailand, South Africa, India, Peru, Fiji, Russia, Philippines, Columbia, Pakeha and Maori cultures.
More nationalities are sought and will be welcomed.
.
There will be static displays for women’s groups to promote and recruit more members, to make friends and create more understanding between our cultures.

Hi there,
Canterbury has been named the fifth most welcoming region in the world in the Booking.com Traveller Review Awards, while Oamaru, Hokitika and Invercargill have been named the most welcoming towns in NZ. They were followed by Cambridge, Picton, Lake Tekapo, Kerikeri, Palmerston North, Paihia and Twizel.
We'd be really keen to hear your thoughts on this based on your own travels around New Zealand. Do you think Canterbury is NZ's most welcoming region? And are these our most welcoming towns?
Where in NZ have you been made to feel particularly welcome on your travels?
As usual, please put 'NFP' in your comment if you don't want it to be included in an article. Cheers.
