Young Enterprise Scheme Market - Over $1300 worth of prizes!
Kia ora community!
It is unfortunately the second year in a row that our young entrepreneurs have been impacted by the lockdown and we have had to cancel our awesome yearly market at Tūranga.
To support our teams we are running a FB YES Market Page - We have some wonderful Christchurch businesses sponsoring the page with over $1300 worth of amazing experiences to be won.
I invite you to check the page out, vote for your favorite YES business/es and enter the competition to treat yourself to some fun... and even do some early Xmas shopping!

YES is a non for profit supporting last year of high school students in their first entrepreneuring venture through business studies. Over 20 Christchurch high schools participate in the Young Enterprise Scheme (YES).
Share your New Zealand music memories...
It's NZ Music Month and New Zealand really has some beautiful songs from artists that we call our own.
Whether it's April Sun in Cuba, Don't Forget your Roots, or How Bizarre or Bic Runga's 'Sway' - songs have a way of unlocking memories and evoking old feelings.
In honour of NZ Music Month, share a New Zealand song or artist that is special to you and explain why.

Poll: What could the Christchurch City Council fund if it didn't have to pay GST on rates?
Christchurch mayor Phil Mauger says GST on rates, currently taken by central government, would be better spent locally.
The comments follow an Infometrics analysis that found over $1.1 billion of rates revenue nationwide was collected by the Government in 2022 as GST.
According to Infometrics, $88.5m of that came from Christchurch city ratepayers. It would be enough to save the Christ Church Cathedral from ruin; restore the Dux de Lux seven times over; cover both the Art Centre and Orana Wildlife Park’s request for regular public funding for over 26 years; contribute to light rail in Greater Christchurch; or get the South Library rebuild completed.
