The event was a sober reminder for Canterbury of what our community has gone through. I was out and about after the earthquake to check up on residents and to be briefed on how our area had fared. I heard some great stories about night-shift workers who came out to check on evacuees parked in the parking lots of our supermarkets and offered support and food. The work undertaken by our councils and private building owners in upgrading our buildings to increase our ability to cope with earthquake events resulted in relatively little damage to our buildings or infrastructure. This allowed us to be able to support Hurunui and Kaikōura, and I spoke in Parliament’s General Debate Funded by Parliamentary Service and authorised by Matt Doocey MP, 130A Percival St, Rangiora. about how we are supporting our neighbours in North Canterbury. The earthquakes are going to require a number of legislative measures to facilitate recovery and I sat in Parliament under Urgency hearing the submissions on the Hurunui and Kaikōura Earthquakes Emergency Relief Bill. It’s another reminder to look out for each other and to check with family and friends to see they are getting the support they need. I’m getting great feedback on my new Belfast office, with constituents reporting they appreciate the shorter travel time to meet with me, so if you need help or know someone who needs help, please get in touch. From my family to yours, I wish you a Merry Christmas and a peaceful new year. DONATION: Papanui Rotary Club president John Allen (left) hands Christchurch Charity Hospital chief executive Carl Shaw a cheque for $6440. Hospital trust gets $6440 Rotary cheque THE ROTARY Club of Papanui recently presented a cheque for $6440 to the Canterbury Charity Hospital Trust. It was a share of the profits from club’s successful trailer raffle, which was organised in October in partnership with Papanui Mega Mitre 10. Club president John Allen presented the cheque to Carl Shaw, chief executive and hospital manager, who said the contribution would help fund more dental equipment. Mr Allen acknowledged the work CCHT delivers to people who require surgery, dentistry or counselling but do not meet the threshold for treatment in the public health system and do not have the means to fund it for themselves. So far this year, CCHT has undertaken more than 400 procedures for those who would otherwise be unable to access the care they need. The presentation took place in the recovery ward where several reclining chairs, previously donated by Rotary, are located. The trust has purchased a further neighbouring property which is being converted into a counselling suite and a community meeting room. sellOut up tO 18 mOnths interest free! sAVe up tO60% Open 7 Days Mon - Fri 9 - 5.30pm Sat - Sun 10 - 4pm nZ mADe BeDs lOCAllY OWneD 7 Open DAYs 242 Ferry Rd Along From Old Ami Stadium | Phone 377 8887 | www.bedworld.co.nz
