NO Karori Lions Karnival this year
I guess it will come as no surprise to anyone, but the Lions Club of Karori has taken the unprecedented step of cancelling our annual Karori Lions Karnival which was to have been held on Sunday 20th of February. Several thousand people, young and old, normally attend this event, and the club is very conscious of the disappointment that will be felt by everyone who would have taken part - either as stall holders, or their customers - this year. Our apologies to you all!
We will, of course, continue with activities and events that can be safely held under the relevant "Traffic Light" rules in force at the time - so please look out for them so you can all continue to support the club and the various organisations and individuals in our community that we will be helping.
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)
