TONIGHT 27 Feb at Toia Library 6.30pm - The Otahuhu Portage Crossing Canal

Tōia Talks presents the
ŌTĀHUHU PORTAGE CANAL RESERVE PROJECT.
This project provides us with an exciting opportunity to celebrate our heritage and revitalise this area for future generations.

Auckland Council and the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board in partnership with Mana Whenua have a vision to recreate the historic Ōtāhuhu portage route for public use.

Join our panel of Mana Whenua, Project, and Council representatives as they discuss new community-driven plans for this historic site.

This route was travelled by early Māori, and later European settlers travelling between the Waitemata and Manukau Harbours.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
