At a debate in the city on Thursday night, sitting Labour MP Duncan Webb and National party contender Dale Stephens fronted questions from the audience and from debate moderator Amy Carter, chief executive of the Christchurch Foundation.

Surviving the Covid-19 crisis, jobs, infrastructure, and vacant central city land emerged as hot topics in the debate, organised by the Central City Business Association.

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!
