Have you heard about WanderSearch Canterbury?
WanderSearch Canterbury provides tracking devices to people suffering from cognitive impairment and who have a tendency to wander, get disorientated and lost. The cognitive impairment may be due to, for example, Dementia, brain injury or conditions such as Autism. Regardless of the issue we can help by supplying tracking devices free of charge through our Device Loan bank.
Working with NZ Police, if your loved one gets lost and is wearing a Wandatrak device they will in almost all instances be found in very short time preventing unnecessary stress and potential loss of life.

Poll: What could the Christchurch City Council fund if it didn't have to pay GST on rates?
Christchurch mayor Phil Mauger says GST on rates, currently taken by central government, would be better spent locally.
The comments follow an Infometrics analysis that found over $1.1 billion of rates revenue nationwide was collected by the Government in 2022 as GST.
According to Infometrics, $88.5m of that came from Christchurch city ratepayers. It would be enough to save the Christ Church Cathedral from ruin; restore the Dux de Lux seven times over; cover both the Art Centre and Orana Wildlife Park’s request for regular public funding for over 26 years; contribute to light rail in Greater Christchurch; or get the South Library rebuild completed.
