Santa Parade || We need you!
It's that time of year again as float registrations are now open for the 2021 Upper Hutt Santa Parade! It's time to celebrate ‘The magic of Christmas!' 🎁🎅🏼
Do you remember Christmas time as a child? The excitement? The anticipation? The Christmas season seems to carry it’s own sense of magic and wonder—and that’s our theme for this year. The parade will make its way down Main Street on Sunday 5 December from 3.00 pm.
There is a $1,000 prize for the float that best reflects the ‘Magic of Christmas’ theme, and a $250 prize for the People’s Choice Award, voted for by the public on our Facebook page in the week following the parade.
To register, please head to: www.upperhuttcity.com/Community/Events/Santa-Parade

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
