A Marlborough institution has set sail from the waterways of 'the Beaver' to a new home on the Kaiapoi River.

The River Queen was a fixture on the Taylor River, the shallow river winding through the town centre in Blenheim, for more than a decade.

The riverside town in North Canterbury hopes to become a popular destination, with canal boats, events and riverside shopping all part of the future plans for its town centre. The introduction of the River Queen was seen as positive step towards those goals..

A North Canterbury family came close to losing their home last week after someone set off fireworks nearby, causing a fire.

Jessica Murray and her husband, 6-month-old baby and two dogs had to evacuate their Kaiapoi home last week when a rogue firework came close to burning their house down.

They're now backing a campaign by a Rangiora resident to get fireworks banned from the Waimakariri district.

Petition organiser Arthur Linnell says he's "not a killjoy ... but I do think a public display is the only way to go. Sometimes we have to bring laws in to protect us from stupid people".
