The event starts at 12 noon on February 22, at the Memorial site on the Ōtākaro/Avon River, in the area bordered by the Montreal Street Bridge, Durham Street, and Cambridge and Oxford Terraces.
The Memorial will be a place for people to reflect on the devastating earthquakes that changed Canterbury and its communities forever, honouring those who lost their lives on 22 February 2011, and acknowledging those who were seriously injured and everyone who helped in the rescue and recovery operation.
The Order of Service summary for the event released today includes:
- The names of the 185 people who died in the February 22 2011 Earthquake to be read in an order reflecting their arrangement on the Memorial Wall – an arrangement guided by the wishes of their bereaved families;
- Representatives from First Responder groups who assisted in the rescue and recovery unveiling the Words of Acknowledgement on the Memorial Wall;
- Bev Edwards, representing people psychologically and physically injured in the earthquakes, reading the Dedication of the Earthquake Memorial;
- And moving musical performances by young Lyttelton musician Marlon Williams and lone piper Tom Glover.
Families from around the world who lost loved ones on this day six years ago, and those who were seriously injured will join local and national dignitaries and first responders as invited guests, along with dignitaries from countries which lost people in the quake, and those that sent rescue and recovery teams to help in the days and weeks following the devastating earthquake. Many of these first responder groups and dignitaries will also lay wreaths at the service.
Two large areas with screens have been reserved for the public, and the event will be live streamed to enable people throughout New Zealand to share in remembering and reflecting, and acknowledge the help and support that was received.
Ōtākaro Limited, Christchurch City Council, Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu and the Ministry of Culture and Heritage have worked together to deliver the Memorial.
A Facebook page www.facebook.com...... has information and updates on the Memorial, and people are encouraged to share their stories of the earthquakes and give thanks to those that helped out at www.quakestories.co.nz......
The event will be livestreamed at www.canterburyearthquakememorial.co.nz......

We are not expecting any change to those detours overnight unless emergency authorities lift road closures. Detailed information is below. We thank all our customers for your patience and understanding during this time.
Our Real Time Information systems continue to be affected by the fire and a number of buses are unable to be tracked. This means some buses will not show in our "next bus" online tools and most bus finders displaying the ETA's of buses on street will not work. It is likely that our systems will be affected for a number of days and we ask that if your bus does not appear on "next bus" tools that you use the bus timetables instead. Metro thank all fire fighters for their hard work and dedication to keeping our communities safe.
As of Thursday 16 February two bus services are affected by the fire, they are;
- Blue Line - all trips will end at Princess Margaret Hospital, no trips will travel to Cashmere Hill
- 145 Westmorland - Eastgate - all trips will end and start their trips on Rose St until further notice.

This is your chance to celebrate your hood by sharing stories, photos or video. We really want to see and hear about the people in your neighbourhood. Portraits or videos of our neighbourhood champions, or the people that to you personify your community or ‘hood’. This year we’re doing it a little differently. To help focus (excuse the photography pun) we’ve chosen three themes.
1 – I Heart the History of My Hood
Everywhere we live has history, and stories. Do you know your hood’s history? Or maybe you know someone who has lived in the community for what seems like a million years, and know the place like that back of their hand. Was your hood the birth place of the women’s vote, or maybe site of the biggest lamington ever made way back in 53′ ….(Yes I know, random, but honestly we’re interesting in anything and everything)… By the way – this is also an awesome way to get our older ‘story tellers’ involved.
2 – I Heart Diversity in my Hood
New Zealand really has become a melting pot and that brings with it the rainbow of diversity of all kinds. Maybe you have the ‘united nations’ living on one street, maybe your neighbourhood pot luck dinners are better and more interesting than an international food fair could every dream of! We want to see and hear about it.
3 – I Heart My Healthy Hood
With our clean green image, amazing fresh foods, picture perfect outdoor environment, we know there are neighbourhoods out there that personify ‘health’. Is your neighbourhood or neighbour one of them? It could be through a neighbourhood walking group, or a ‘from garden to plate thanks to the shared neighbourhood community garden’ kind of thing. It might be a neighbourhood that has committed to getting the kids off screens and outside, or maybe its a whole street of cross fit power vegans ….. probably not … but you never know. What ever it is, we want to see and hear about it.
To enter go to our website and ‘share your story’
So get snapping and chatting. We have more information on I Heart My Hood available on facebook and on our website.

Delicious honey, plants, books, art, clothing, essences, oils, jewellery, crystals, incense...etc. We have yummy food and coffee available, with picnic tables set up so people can eat, rest and enjoy the atmosphere. It's also a fantastic opportunity to try different types of bodywork as most practitioners offer 'taster' sessions which are shorter in length and affordable. We also have some very talented clairvoyants and mediums coming and people offering readings. With 40 stalls there is something for everyone!!
