Petition calling for after-hours service in Rangiora reaches 1000 signatures
There are renewed calls for after-hours care in Rangiora with a petition attracting nearly 1000 signatures in its first week.
Sandi McLean said she decided to take action after seeing the district's population grow and hearing horror stories about North Canterbury families spending all day waiting to be seen in Christchurch.
"There are about 70,000 people [in Waimakariri], yet nothing here – not even an emergency on-call doctor. Oxford, Kaiapoi, Rangiora, even Pegasus is in our area. If it's a weekend all those people just have to go to [Christchurch]."

Christmas Spirit
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.
