After debate around whether Matariki should become a public holiday, ACT leader David Seymour said he was "open" to public holidays being scrapped in New Zealand - well, all but Anzac and Waitangi.

He says people should be able to make their own holiday arrangements, rather than the Government telling us when to take the day off.

We want to know your thoughts. Should people be able to make their own holiday arrangements? Or should we leave our holidays as is?

“Wrap up cosy and come down for a wintry blast at Snow in the Park,” says Henderson-Massey Local Board member Vanessa Neeson.

“There will be heaps of fun activities for children and their families – and it’s all free.”

As always, the four-lane tube run will be a highlight, with snow delivered by Snow Planet.

There will also be an under-six snowboarding area and a snow play area where children can make snowmen and snow castles.

Prizes, face-painting, bouncy castles, a climbing wall, huskies, bumper-ball soccer and more will keep everyone entertained. Elsa and Olaf will be there!

You’ll be able to warm up with food and coffee stalls too.

The event is smoke-free and zero waste, and is funded by Henderson-Massey Local Board.
