‘The children are our future.’ It’s a well-loved cliché around the world because it’s absolutely true. The hopes and dreams we have for our communities are only as strong as the children and young people who continue to believe in them long after we’re gone.

This month is all about supporting our young people, to encourage and empower them to not only be the change-makers and community builders of tomorrow but also the best versions of themselves. To listen to their perspective and remember that it’s not just about what we can teach them, but what lessons they can teach us. After all, the recipe for creating healthy, happy children includes a lot of the same ingredients for building safer, more resilient and connected communities.

Soulful sound to end your week
A chill vibe to close the week with some of Wellington's young talent presenting their original works as well as music from the collections by artists that have inspired them.
Māori, English, electronic, acoustic — this combination of musicians will captivate you.
This is the first in a series of events leading up to the opening, in September, of the Pūkana exhibition, which will celebrate Māori and Performing Arts.
About the musicians
Ladyfruit says this about herself ‘Put me in a box and I’ll imagine it into a spaceship and blast off! I like to flow in and out of any genre. Imagine soul, hip hop, R'n'B, jazz and world music making a baby. Modern day storytelling singing about true school stuff’.
Amba Holly moved from Taupiri to Wellington in 2000 and loves RnB and Soul fusion and acoustic styled music — she composes in both Māori and English. Amba won Best Māori Solo Female Artist at the 2016 Waiata Māori Music Awards
Mīharo Gregory is Christchurch born and raised, he studied in Invercargill and started a band before moving to Wellington. His musical mission? Trying to spread the love and support other musicians via collaborating. Battle of the Band finalist ‘Nation’ — placing in the top 10.

Work is about to start on the Omāroro pipeline, an important part of the project, constructing a new pipeline corridor along Wallace Street that will connect the Omāroro Reservoir to the existing water supply.
This work will also allow us to renew local water supply pipes, stormwater pipes and sewer pipes in the area.
You’re invited to a sausage sizzle!
Come along and meet representatives of Brian Perry Civil and their partners in the project, the contractors who will be working on the pipeline.
It’s just a friendly gathering, an opportunity to get to know the team who will be working in your community over the next year or so.
Some of Wellington Water’s key project team members will also be there.
We’re putting on some simple kai. All you need to do is turn up. We’d love to see you there.
6pm-7pm
