This exhibition, produced as a partnership between Museums Victoria, Winnipeg Art Gallery and Pātaka, explores Indigenous relationships with water, and is on display until 29 October.
It brings together contemporary Indigenous artwork from Turtle Island in Canada, Aotearoa, and many First Peoples nations of Australia, illustrating an axis of solidarity between Indigenous peoples across the globe.

The Paul Harris Fellows was established in his honour in 1957 to express appreciation for the contribution to the humanitarian and educational programmes of The Rotary Foundation.
Rotarians designate a Paul Harris Fellow to recognise a person whose life demonstrates a shared purpose with the objectives and mission of The Rotary Foundation to build world understanding and peace. Thus, this is a recognition made on behalf of all members of the Club and is not lightly made.
Bruce Couch joined Rotary in June 1988, having been a member of Tawa Rotary and
President. He was President of Plimmerton in 2008-2009 and recipient of the President’s
award 2016. In November 2009 he was awarded a Paul Harris Fellow. Bruce has been Treasurer for a very long time and always participates in the various Club projects with enthusiasm and vigour. President Denise recognised Bruce’s ongoing service to RCoP and said as President” I have found you approachable, your can-do attitude invaluable and your advice is always strongly appreciated. Equally your ability to provide a solution to every problem that might arise is priceless.”

Mulled Wine Concerts Presents BENJAMIN CARTER
A genuine Kiwi home-grown talent, Ben Carter hails from Lower Hutt and
comes from a very musical family – both his parents play in the New Zealand
Symphony Orchestra! Perhaps inevitably, Ben has grown up with music and
has developed his own special talent, which will be on display at the Memorial
Hall in Paekakariki on Sunday 23 July when he will put on a concert for Mary
Gow's Mulled Wine Concerts organisation. Kapiti audiences will get a chance
to see a stunning young musician at the very start of what promises to be a
stellar career.
To make the concert even more exciting, audiences will hear
concert-level performances on two instruments - piano and cello - as Ben
presents masterpieces by Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, Prokofiev and Scriabin.
Ben has played piano, cello and his surprise instrument, the ukelele from a
young age. He is a first-year student at Victoria University School of Music
where he is concentrating on studying piano under the guidance of Professor
Jian Liu.
He has been successful in competitions at the regional and national
level – last year he won the National Performing Arts Award, playing the cello.
He will shortly be off to Zhuhai, China as the New Zealand entry for the 50th
International Mozart Competition for young musicians.
Although young, Ben does not lack performing experience – he has appeared
as a soloist with the NZSO at their 75th anniversay celebrations, and also with
musicians from the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. He was Principal Cellist
of the NZSO National Youth Orchestra in 2021 and Principal Cellist of the NZ
Secondary Schools Symphony Orchestra 2001-2002. He recently presented
a Mozart Piano Concerto as a soloist with the Dunedin Symphony Orchestra.
A versatile young musician such as Benjamin Carter does not come along
very often and Mulled Wine Concerts is proud to present a performance that
will be sure to be well attended and talked about for a very long time.

He had information about me and spoke like a health professional. He provided his name and phone number and was very convincing with his smooth talk and knowledge. I was cautious but it was later when I was coerced to order vitamin supplements to improve my metabolism and Paypal was mentioned, the red flags appeared. When I resisted giving any details and not wanting to buy anything he turned narsacystic and said I must be insane to think that he was a scammer with all the knowledge that he had shared with me. He said the time he spent with me had cost him money etc.
I contacted the police who were very supportive and said to contact Cert NZ who said it was a definitely scam that had appeared recently.
Kia ora, we have two clothing stands are in good condition. Also have some toys to give away . Cheers
