Community engagement in the Papanui Ward in Christchurch, New Zealand
This Saturday 2 July from 10am to 1:30pm there’ll be a working bee to prepare the site of the new Mairehau Neighbourhood Garden. The garden aims to support the local community by teaching self-sufficiency through growing vegetables and providing a place to connect with others. See the Facebook event for details.
This event is being hosted by The Neighbourhood Trust, Mairehau Neighbourhood Garden, and The Green Lab.
The Council’s second and final candidate information session is at 6pm this Thursday 30 June. This is an opportunity to hear from the Council’s Chief Executive and Electoral Officer to learn about what’s involved with representing your community and the local elections process.
