Discover Your Rights
Awareness Week 8th – 14th April
Citizens Advice Invites you – to Discover Your Rights.
Helping people to know what their rights and responsibilities are and how they can act on these is the core to what the Citizens Advice is about!
“We help people from all walks of life to access the information they need so they are empowered to take the next steps and to resolve their problems”
A highlight of Awareness week is the launch of the new web site. The information about rights is grounded in the law but is practical and is expressed in a way that’s easy to understand. Please try it at our website www.cab.org.nz... or just search for Citizen's Advice Bureau.
Our volunteers have been busy upskilling in the use of this excellent resource.
We are also pleased to welcome a group of new volunteers, who are currently in training and we look forward to them being part of our TEAM.
⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
We're talking new year resolutions...

What’s something quick, or easy, that you started doing that made a major positive change in your life?

The sick bags were out on Monday ferry crossings as the ships navigated rough waters. Did you experience the wild Cook Strait weather?
