Reminder – if you’re under the age of 25 and in the Papanui area, then you have the opportunity to take part in this event with Youth Voice Canterbury and the Christchurch Youth Council tomorrow afternoon. Maybe some Papanui High School students will join in? We are hosting an open workshop on the Christchurch Youth Action Plan! Open to all under the age of 25 who want to have a say on the Action Plan.

It is important for us to consult a wide range of people from Christchurch so the plan best represents you. Come share your views and experiences living as a young person in Christchurch.
What impacts you? How could it be resolved?

We will be there from 2:30 pm to meet with you and brainstorm the issues that impact your life. We want your feedback on the current Youth Action Plan and to hear what you feel is missing or has been left unanswered.

Feel free to come along any time that suits you – we want you to have your say!

We will provide food while you provide the ideas and feedback on how Christchurch can improve for youth. If you’ve got any dietary requirements and are intending to come along, please give us a heads up so we can cater for you 🙂

For more information on the Christchurch Youth Action Plan project, please email christchurchyap@gmail.com or check out our website at www.youthvoicecanterbury.org.nz/christchurch-youth-action-plan.html

Congratulations to award winners and all who entered the Edible Garden Awards:

We had a great time tonight at the 2017 Papanui-Innes Edible Garden Awards at the Canterbury Horticultural Society. Despite our ward boundaries being smaller this year, entries were up, and it was especially encouraging to see some new schools coming on board.

All 48 entrants were awarded with a certificate, with special awards for First Timer, Best Tomatoes, Best Yield, and Most Sustainable Garden. Special mention to St Albans Uniting Church Christchurch for taking out the Best Community Garden award (again) and Shirley Boys’ High School for winning the schools/preschools category

Well done to everyone involved tonight – our Board is proud to be able to recognise your efforts.

Edit 9pm 6 April: See the link in the comments for an update – “A man who protested construction of a cycleway by standing out in the rain with his placard, appears to have won the battle.” Thanks Mike Davidson City Councillor – Papanui for sharing.

The Grassmere Street section of the under-construction Papanui Parallel cycleway is in the news today: “Roading contractors have been forced to down tools as residents angry at Christchurch’s new road and cycleway design have taken their protest to the street.”
