Around the BAYs 21 February 2021

Center Manager from Greta Point - Active Explorers

Kia Ora all families and friends,

We are looking forward to another exciting year.

We also just want to let you know about Round the Bays 2021.

This iconic Wellington event is back on again this year 😊 and is set for Feb 21st February.

This is an event that I (Nardia) have volunteered for over the past 6 years and this year we are excited to supporting this event by opening our doors to act as a family pit stop for participants & volunteers. It is also a great venue to cheer on all the participants as they head around the course.
If you, family members or friends are participating please let them know that if they need a place to stop – have a drink of water, change a child’s nappy or just a breather we will be here manning the fort. For more information about this event please use this link:

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
