WDC having Oruku Landing special meeting

Stephen from Central Whangarei

Some Councillors have forced an extraordinary meeting re this, for this Thursday. It will not be good news for ratepayers. Interesting timing given it's election year too.

Be sure to keep mobile phones charged and ensure you have a car charger for your devices so you can keep in touch and keep informed. It also may pay to have a torch handy (they are safer than candles which can be a fire hazard) and have a gas bottle topped up for cooking.

Children with Disability NZ Our mission! To make Northland the most disability-friendly region in New Zealand. To provide more events for our disabled children their parents and siblings to enjoy togetherness, we are well advanced on this goal.

We are under new management our Chief marketing officer (CMO) Glen McMillan has been promoted to Chief executive officer (CEO)

Glen McMillan will continue his CMO role

CWD are a Northland New Zealand-based registered charity CC5914

My commitment as CEO of Children with Disability NZ is to take the concept of acceptance and inclusion for disabled children and their families to every town in New Zealand, to do this I will need help with research sending emails and contacting all councils

The goal is to submit plans and suggestions to every new playground development in New Zealand to include accessible play. I am making connections with playground providers I feel sure will help promote this concept

If you are good on a computer and can work from home researching eg looking up council “have your say pages” and submitting a prepared plan. Our disabled children need to feel more included.

Please PM me of Facebook or email Glen at childrenwithdisabilitynz@gmail.com

This is a volunteer positions or positions. This is a new start we CWD (Children with Disability NZ ) would love this concept to catch on all kids deserve playtime.

We want help and person power to organise events we need ideas.

More usable and wheelchair-friendly outdoor experiences sensory programs and equipment in public spaces.

Our mission is to make every disabled child welcome in New Zealand.

The amateur artist and unemployed architect developed the word game in the midst of the depression.
