Regardless of our different faiths, abilities, cultures, nationalities, ages, orientations and even genders - we want to make sure that our communities are safe and welcoming for all.
There’s many ways to take part! From hosting a multicultural potluck where each attendee brings a dish from a country of their choice to coordinating a fundraiser that benefits refugees or our elderly there are thousands of ways big and small to make our households, neighbourhoods, schools and businesses even more inclusive. It could even be as simple as learning from a neighbour how to say ‘hello’ in their native language or ensuring local footpaths are accessible!
Don’t forget this month also coincides with Women’s Refugee Awareness Month and International Day of Friendship on July 30th - a United Nations day that promotes the role that friendship plays in promoting peace in many cultures.
Want to share your thoughts? Let us know how you’re making your community more inclusive this month by tagging us in your posts + using the following hashtag so we can see what you get up to:

I have a large amount of demolition wood suitable for cutting up for firewood. The wood comes from Christchurch demolition sites; the good wood has been sorted to be recycled so what I have is what's left! It may have nails, paint or borer. The wood is not suitable for making things with.

The wood is not suitable for making things with.
Access to the wood is excellent on firm ground. Pick up is from (East) Eyreton and I'm home much of the time but it would be sensible to text me first before you come.
Please note that you will be required to sign a short form saying that you take full responsibility for your health and safety. I recommend that you use gloves and have good footwear.

The winter flowering cherry near the gate is the best I've ever seen it and seems to shimmer with the low sun these days. If anyone would like to gather some oak leaves for composting or making their own leaf mold there are plenty of oak leaves to go around. Do please keep vehicles off the grass inside the grounds though.
Climate change is the most critical issue of the moment, and has been described by our prime minister as her generation's "nuclear-free moment". Its impacts, regardless of your views on it, are only going to get greater.
Yet it is not part of our school curriculum.

Yet it is not part of our school curriculum.
Some experts say that has to change. It is such an existential threat that not to make it a requirement to teach children about climate change is doing them a great disservice, they say.

Ronny Hiller raced to the nearest automated external defibrillator (AED) at Woodend Community Centre, in North Canterbury, but found he needed to call 111 again for a code to unlock it. It took the operator five minutes to find the code.
St John medical director Tony Smith said there was no legal requirement for the ambulance service to be informed of the location of publicly available AEDs but he encouraged people to let them know and register the location of the device on the New Zealand AED Locations website.
