Offering a peek behind the curtain, Ryman have released behind the scenes footage from their recent film. Showcasing their passion for life, Ryman residents from New Zealand and Australia feature in the film. Let’s meet the stars.

“If I hear music, I just want to dance – body seems to just move!” says dancer Audrey, 84. Poet Brian, 86, says “Poetry helps me to question and understand the meaning of life”, followed by a witty “– haven’t worked out what it means yet”.

Gone are the days of getting one qualification out of school to see you through your working life. Now, upskilling, online courses and on-the-job training are all part of making your way up the career ladder. 

We want to talk to people who have completed micro-credentials, bitesize qualifications for specific skills. 

Perhaps you've pieced together a full qualification by doing online courses, or maybe you've taken a workshop rather than investing in a six-month course. We'd love to hear from you - email josephine.franks@stuff.co.nz

A North Canterbury whitebaiter of almost 60 years says the Government is taking the wrong approach in its efforts to regulate the fishery.

Proposals out for public consultation include banning exports, restricting the equipment used, limiting upstream fishing, reducing the length of the season and closing some rivers for up to 10 years. DOC recommends the season be shortened two weeks, to between August 15 to November 15. Consultation closes on March 16.

Ashley Fishermen's Association president Doug Guthrie, who has been whitebaiting around North Canterbury since he was 13, said fingers were being pointed at fishermen but the underlying problem affecting fish stocks was a lack of water and a loss of habitat.
