Local elections
Wow, 13 candidates for Mayor, not sure if that is lucky or not! That will split the votes, and boy do we have some research to do to make sure we vote for the right person. Then again, what sort of person is right for this position? This is a question that has a dozen different answers, so whoever gets in will not be the right fit for everyone. But that person has to be the right fit for the city, after all the Mayor has to do right by the whole city based on the Councillors imput. The Councillor you choose has to be the right fit for you and do right by your ward, your community Board member has to be the right fit and do right by the people of your community.

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!
