Our special partnership with Metlifecare continues, and we have some great content to share with readers about people living their best lives in retirement.

This issue we look at some of the worthwhile volunteer roles retirees are filling in our communities, learn about mindfulness at any age, and check out some Kiwi beach travel options while the good weather lasts.

Don’t forget to try out our nostalgia quiz - it’s for anyone who wants to test the Kiwi knowledge they’ve picked up over the past four, five, six or more decades.

Passed by the Coalition Government on 17 December 2024, this bill now heads to the Health Select Committee. Submissions close on the 17th February 2025 – make your voice heard!

www.oanz.org...

Why Oppose the Gene Technology Bill? This bill undermines protections for our environment, economy, and communities by:
Ignoring Nature's Precautionary Principle: Risks to ecosystems and rural jobs are not protected.
Excluding Treaty of Waitangi Principles: Disregards Māori rights and perspectives.
Shifting Liability: No requirement for GE users to manage risks.
No Supply Chain Segregation: Farmers lose the ability to preserve GE-free crops.
No Labelling: Consumers and farmers won’t know which products are GE-exempt.
No Ethical Standards: Overlooks animal welfare and ethical concerns.
Ignoring Economic Risks: The value of New Zealand’s non-GMO exports is at stake.
Ignoring Reputation Risks: Deregulation threatens New Zealand’s global reputation for clean, safe, GMO-free food, jeopardising a key competitive advantage.

SPCA asking dog owners to vaccinate their pups

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Are you a dog or puppy owner? SPCA are urgently calling on you to vaccinate them against parvovirus.

SPCA New Zealand say:
We’re seeing more and more cases of the highly contagious and potentially fatal canine parvovirus (parvo) around the country as we face a third outbreak in as many years.… View more
Are you a dog or puppy owner? SPCA are urgently calling on you to vaccinate them against parvovirus.

SPCA New Zealand say:
We’re seeing more and more cases of the highly contagious and potentially fatal canine parvovirus (parvo) around the country as we face a third outbreak in as many years. Parvo can remain on surfaces for up to a year, so dogs are at constant risk if they’re unvaccinated, or if their vaccinations lapse. Please ensure your dogs are protected against this heartbreaking illness, and book your vaccines and boosters as soon as possible. It could be the difference between life and death.
