Dying Matters Week

Annette from Paraparaumu

Dying Matters Week. 1st - 7th Sept.

Dying Matters Week is a national initiative supporting people across Aotearoa to start conversations in a safe space, learn from local experts and seek support to get affairs in order and navigate grief or loss.

This is the second year that Dying Matters Week has been held nationally in Aotearoa. Over 200 events are planned in 26 towns and cities. Check out www.gowithgrace.nz... to find out what is happening nationally.

I have organized 10 speakers to speak at the Paraparaumu Library and about 20 people to have displays/stalls at the expo at Ocean Road Community Centre.
Please email me (annette@theinnerpath.co.nz) for the full programme.

Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? 💰🌲

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Environmental Protection Authority announced this week that a proposed mine in Central Otago (near Cromwell) is about to enter its fast-track assessment process. A final decision could come within six months, and if it’s approved, construction might start as early as mid-2026.

We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?

Keen to dig deeper? Mike White has the scoop.
