Poll: Would you support your children or grandchildren participating in the Run to Remember?

Jake Kenny Reporter from Community News

Helping Christchurch’s youth become more active is the main goal of a new Run to Remember offer for schools.

Organisers hope the initiative will attract record numbers to the event commemorating the 10th anniversary of the Canterbury earthquakes as well as the lives lost in the March 15 attacks.

Halswell School is the first school to offer its students, parents and staff discounted entry rates for the 10-kilometre walk and run though the Port Hills on February 21, thanks to Sport Canterbury and Athletics Canterbury.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!
