It has been a bad year for many, but not for the City of Porirua Cadet Unit.
During 2020 they took part in a military camp at Waiouru with over 1000 other cadets from across New Zealand. Over the course of a week they got to take part in abseiling, mountain biking, sailing, archery, flying, camping and a myriad of other activities.
A number of the cadets went to RNZAF Ohakea to complete training courses and again Porirua won the top student for central district on the junior NCO course.
The unit has been recognised by the Duke of Edinburgh award and is now a registered award facilitator allowing our young people to complete the award through the year.
The Duke of Edinburgh award is recognised in over 170 countries it also allows participants to gain extra NCEA credits.
The unit has grown over the course of the year and also gained a new unit commander and a number of new officers.
They will be having an open night on the January 27 at the Cadet buildings in Ngati Toa Domain. 6B Pascoe Avenue Paremata.

What makes it such a great place to be at this time of year? What are you most looking forward to about the trip? Any words of advice you may have on things to do or places to eat or drink in the area would also be much appreciated. As usual, please put 'NFP' (not for publication) in your comment if you don't want it included in a travel article. Cheers.

Leigh Corner talks Biodiversity

Rhondda Sweetman from Plimmerton Rotary

Leigh Corner gave us his Viewpoint tonight. He asked, 'Why am I concerned with the decrease in biodiversity, not just in New Zealand but globally?'

He asked, 'Why am I concerned with the decrease in biodiversity, not just in New Zealand but globally?' He then went on to explain that we are dependent on the biosphere, that is, all living things on earth, for our air, clean water, and the food we eat. There is a great diversity of species in the biosphere and they are found in a myriad of ecosystems. The stability of the biosphere and these ecosystems is contingent on the complexity that results from diversity. The greater the biodiversity, the healthier and more stable are the ecosystems. If there is a sudden change in the environment of the communities, the stability may change and the community may be destroyed.
