A music festival will kick off a youth-led conservation project in the Hurunui later this month.

The event will be held at the Balmoral Reserve Campground on the afternoon of Sunday, May 26, and has been named Rhythm and Pines due to the nearby Balmoral Forest.

It will feature live music, an outdoor movie, workshops, food trucks, speakers and a bioblitz – an intense period of biological surveying to try record all the living species within a designated area. The event will also be used to showcase the recently designated Youth Restoration Site, next to the campground.

Cannabis could soon be sold and grown legally in New Zealand, but in Christchurch it seems there is little rush to immerse the city's bars, cafes and shops in a new drug culture.

The Government announced on Tuesday that the public will decide on whether the drug should be legalised through a referendum at next year's general election.

Canterbury entrepreneur tackles weird and wonderful restoration project

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from Northern Outlook

It seems an unusual place for extraterrestrial sightings but a paddock in rural North Canterbury has just become home to an alien spacecraft.

Nick McQuoid landed the Futuro house in Ohoka, north of Christchurch, this week, and will restore it to its former beauty over the next six months.

If someone has wronged you or not paid you, don't leave it too long or you will miss out

Director / lawyer from Kiwilaw

This may be something you can share with a friend - if someone owes them money and refuses to pay, they need to start any court proceedings ASAP and definitely within six years.
It's the same in the Disputes Tribunal.

This may be something you can share with a friend - if someone owes them money and refuses to pay, they need to start any court proceedings ASAP and definitely within six years.
It's the same in the Disputes Tribunal.
If someone has cheated them, or wronged them, the time limit may vary and they should get legal advice sooner rather than later. (Time limits vary depending on the exact legal issues.)
At least find out when the time limit expires, or if it's something where any delay will weaken the claim.
(As well as the limits set by law, there is also the practical issue that it's harder to find someone and other creditors may get in first in the meantime.)
(Posting this as helpful information, not trying to win business. Kiwilaw can advise you and help you bring (or defend) your own tribunal or court claim. At least for this year, we don't want to provide full representation where we do all the work and appear in court - please use other lawyers for that.)
