This double canoe was sketched off the New Zealand coast in 1769 by Herman Spöring.
Marlborough Archaeologist Atholl Anderson argues that the double spritsail was the most likely type of sailing rig used by the Polynesian voyagers who reached New Zealand in the 13th century.

Now more than ever, the fern seems to best capture the spirit of our country. If we look to our Māori roots, we are reminded of the twist or pikorua which resembles two intertwined pikopiko ferns - a fern known for thriving in dark, damp areas of our woods. A reminder that difficult conditions can actually be an opportunity for tremendous growth.
The entanglement of the pikorua also has no beginning or end which is often used to represent an everlasting bond. Although we are all on our own path in life, in the end we always come back together - we are all connected through our interwoven lives.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced the National Remembrance Service will take place on Friday 29 March at 10am, in Christchurch’s Hagley Park.
Marlborough Mayor John Leggett says it is important Marlburians are able to participate in a nationwide event and get a further opportunity to reflect on the events in Christchurch.
“The council has an important role to play in bringing our community together to mark what occurred, and reflect on what it means for our nation. My thanks to the ASB Theatre for hosting this event.”
The livestreaming event will see the National Remembrance Service shown on a big screen in the ASB Theatre. Entry will be free, with capacity limited to 700 people. Doors will open at 9am and attendees are asked to be seated by 9.45am.
The mayor will make a brief welcoming speech just before the livestream commences at 9.55am. The livestream will finish at 11am.
The event is supported by the Blenheim Police, who will have a visible security presence at the event. Attendees are requested not to bring prams, suitcases, large backpacks or trolley bags. The service will also be shown at the Marlborough District Library in Blenheim and the Picton Library and Service Centre.

First up - The amazing Dee Paranihi!
As a loved employee of the Graeme Dingle Foundation, Dee couldn’t pass up the amazing opportunity to explore Vietnam and help kids across Aotearoa at the same time. "We can all learn to believe what we have inside is greater than the things that stand in front of us, but we need to teach our kids this, we are not necessarily born thinking that way."

Everyone in Marlborough has been shocked by the horrific events of last Friday. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims of the Christchurch attacks.
Each month as I welcome new citizens to Marlborough, including members of the Muslim community, I thank them for making New Zealand their home.
As the Prime Minister said: “they are us”.
The attacks struck at the heart of the South Island and New Zealand, one of the world’s most peaceful and friendly nations.
On behalf of everyone in Marlborough, I have conveyed my thanks to the Police and the emergency services for their incredible bravery and dedication.
Kia kaha.
Mayor John Leggett
