Hi Canterbury,

What's your opinion on dog-friendly businesses?

The number of dog friendly businesses in the Canterbury region are on the rise with over 30 cafes allowing dog owners to dine with their canines.

The decision is the business owner’s rather than council's, and the only requirement is dogs must be at least three metres away from the kitchen.

You can find the full list of dog-friendly businesses by clicking 'Read more'.

These strange slots allowed you to rid yourself of an old razor and never think of it again...but it also meant, years down the track, that someone renovating would be in for a nasty, rusty surprise.
I'm certain I've seen something like this here in Aotearoa-NZ, but can't for the life of me recall where. It was in the back of the medicine cupboard. Let us know if you've seen, had - or have - one in your home.

Hello neighbours. What an honour to be a part of this group and to be able to introduce myself to you today.

My name is Laetitia, more easily pronounced as La-teach-a. I am a creative educator who is passionate about helping children navigate challenges in their learning. My philosophy has driven my career pathway of 20 years in the classroom, consultancy and in research to design and create a new approach in teaching and learning.

Today, I have launched my website www.actionstationslearning.com... offering families FREE bite size tutorials on how we learn, ways to motivate learning and valuable information designed to empower you and your child’s success in literacy and numeracy.

You can also CONNECT with others to collaborate, share, inspire or ask your questions about how to support your child’s learning at home.

Action Stations Learning is a different approach to learning literacy and numeracy that works with the brain through movement, choice, and focusing on connections.​ Created for primary school children but also to ignite learning minds in older children.

We are just new and growing daily but would love for you to visit;

Gathering together during the holidays can lead us to notice changes in our loved ones and their needs, especially if there has been some time between visits.

Starting a conversation about care isn’t always easy but like many things, sometimes you just need to take the first step.

To help nurture those conversations, we invite you to our Care Centre Open Days at your local Ryman village. A tour will give you first-hand experience of our village communities and the exceptional care we provide. Care options include the extra support of a serviced apartment, resthome, hospital and specialist dementia care.
