Would you be willing to take part in some research about housing?
Victoria University is seeking research participants to take part in interviews about housing preferences and experiences of medium density housing. The research findings will be used to contribute to the improvement of medium density housing in Aotearoa New Zealand.
We are interested in interviewing both residents and non-residents of medium density housing, and we would like to interview both Māori and non-Māori research participants. Participants will be selected based on demographic criteria.
The interview will take approximately 45-60 minutes.
Interview participants will receive a $25 supermarket voucher.
To express interest in taking part, please get in contact with us:
Dr. Morten Gjerde: morten.gjerde@vuw.ac.nz
Dr. Rebecca Kiddle: rebecca.kiddle@vuw.ac.nz
If you have any questions about the research, please contact Dr. Morten Gjerde on 04 4636233
⚠️ 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 ❤️
