Caution advised after algal blooms found in two North Canterbury rivers

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from Northern Outlook

Health warnings have been issued for two North Canterbury rivers following the discovery of potentially toxic algal blooms.

Blue-green algae (benthic cyanobacteria) has been found in the Ashley/Rakahuri River, near the Rangiora-Loburn bridge. Other access points along the river may have cyanobacteria present and people are advised to check for signs before accessing the water.

The algae has also been found in the Otukaikino/Waimakariri confluence near the State Highway 1 and Main North Rd bridges.

Christmas Spirit

Allan from Rangiora

Went to New World Christmas Eve brought some groceries and as I went to pay a
very kind Lady behind me in the queue reached out and paid for my purchase.
The world still has some wonderful people in it even in these troubled times.
