Sunday, 1st October is Grandparents day

The Team from Citizens Advice Christchurch Area

New Zealand Grandparent’s Day is about celebrating the grandparents. It’s a day that celebrates all the joy and value that Grandparents bring to the lives of Kiwi kids. Whether they be Grandparents by blood, or Grandparents by love, we celebrate them.

Sunday, 1 October 2023 is a chance for families to gather together and talk, laugh and reminisce as we collectively thank the Grandparents of New Zealand.

2025 has been massive. The Luxon-led Government's attacks on workers, on Te Tiriti, on pay equity, on educators, on health workers, and on the public service, have been relentless.

But despite everything thrown at working people, we've also seen some massive wins. We've fought back together with strike action. We've unified with days of action. We have focused on what matters. Make no mistake, 2026 will be wild, and we are ready for it! Source - New Zealand Council of Trade Unions

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!
