came together to perform in 

an orchestral extravaganza on 

Wednesday. 

About 120 students 

performed to a crowd of more 

than 150 in the Christ’s College 

auditorium for the annual event, 

which has been running for 

three years. 

The aim of the concert is 

to bring young musicians 

together for a positive musical 

experience working with and 

learning from each other.

No solution 

to traffic 

issues at 

Burnside 

intersection 


THERE APPEARS to be no 

solution in sight to traffic 

congestion at the Greers Rd and 

Memorial Ave intersection. 

The Fendalton-Waimairi- 

Harewood Community Board 

has voted not to recommend to 

the city council that changes be 

made at the intersection outside 

Burnside High and Christ the 

King schools. 

Greers Rd is used by about 9000 

vehicles in an average 12-hour 

week day, half of which travel 

southbound using the intersection. 

The city council’s 

$280,000 plan would have 

widened Greers Rd to create a 

shared left turn or “sharrow lane” 

for cyclists, vehicles and the 

Orbiter bus to ease congestion 

during peak traffic. 

The community board 

was given two options 

at a meeting last Monday. 

Option one was to remove 

the cycle lane and narrow the 

footpath fronting Christ the King 

School and option two was to do 

nothing.

SOME ANGST over the ongoing saga of 

trying to reduce congestion in the northwest 

(see page 1). 

The Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood 

Community Board has voted not to 

recommend to the city council changes be made at the Greers 

Rd/Memorial Ave intersection. 

A city council plan would have widened Greers Rd to create a 

shared left turn or “sharrow lane” for cyclists, vehicles and the 

Orbiter bus to ease congestion during peak traffic. 

That is democracy but it hasn’t pleased everyone. Board 

member Aaron Campbell, never one to not say what he 

thinks, says his fellow board members should have done more 

homework and visited the site with him before making their 

decision. More fuel to the fire which sometimes reignites within 

the board, me thinks.

Papanui traffic report stalled 


IT HAS now been a 16-month 

wait for a report looking at the 

state of traffic on Papanui roads. 

In 2017, the Papanui-Innes 

Community Board asked the 

city council for a report on busy 

roads in the area, including 

Sawyers Arms Rd, Langdons Rd, 

Main North Rd 

and Sisson Drive. 

The report 

would show 

which roading 

issues the 

community board 

Ali Jones 

John 

Stringer 

wants highlighted 

and discussed at 

the city council 

level. 

Board 

chairwoman 

Ali Jones said 

while there is no 

exact date for 

the release of the 

report it “will 

come soon.” 

In November, a city council 

spokeswoman said the report 

was expected to be received 

before Christmas. 

At the time, “safety concerns” 

on Sisson Drive, proposals to 

install a pedestrian refuge on 

Sawyers Arms Rd, alterations 

CHANGES: A report on roading issues in Papanui, including 

Sawyers Arms Rd and Sisson Drive, is taking longer than 

expected to complete. 

to some intersections and 

introducing more road markings 

were the main issues being 

addressed in the report. 

Ms Jones said the full report 

has not been completed due to 

changes in what it was initially 

going to look at when it was first 

requested. 

“There have been other issues 

that have come up that we have 

asked staff to look into, such 

as speed limits in the area, 

the effects that the Northern 

Corridor will have and what 

cycleways have done,” said Ms 

Jones. 

“All of these things weren’t an 

issue when we first asked for the 

report in 2017.” 

Ms Jones said the board and 

city council staff attended a 

public-excluded seminar in 

February to go over changes 

before a formal report is 

released. 

Board member John Stringer 

has called the process a 

“bureaucratic meltdown.” 

Mr Stringer, who was not at 

the meeting, said the public 

should at least be able to look at 

the issues which were initially 

being investigated. 

“I just don’t agree that 

we should be carrying on 

these private conversations 

behind-closed-doors and that 

the public doesn’t get to have 

transparency,” said Mr Stringer. 

“I just want it to come out so 

we can lay it on the table. There 

may even not be anything in 

it but at least the information 

would be accessible,” he said. 

But Ms Jones said she does not 

want the board working from a 

report that is out of date by the 

time the public have it. 

“We have to be flexible and 

add things into it as we go,” she 

said. 

The initial request came after a 

proposal to install bus and cycle 

lanes along parts of Main North 

Rd was approved. 

The city council was unable to 

comment on the release of the 

report.

WITH THE 

BEST! 

HARCOURTS GOLD 

All the Glitter 

of Gold! 

Real estate agents come from 

all sorts of backgrounds. Is it 

time to make your move? 

If only my 6th form Career’s counsellor had pointed 

me in the direction of real estate. Like many of my 

colleagues, I had other occupations prior to finding 

my way into Real Estate. Real estate is a profession 

that attracts all types of people: ex plumbers, nurses, 

teachers, policemen and builders along with many 

other occupations. They come to real estate and, often, 

like me, discover a passion rather than a job and an 

opportunity to reach their full potential. 

I spent my first year in real estate with another real estate 

company, before being fortunate enough to transfer to 

Harcourts gold, so I know from first-hand experience 

the incredible difference in systems and support there 

can be between companies and offices. After 15 years 

with the Harcourts gold franchise, I can vouch for the 

incredible enrichment that Harcourts gold gives its 

consultants. 

On many occasions I have seen consultants who 

were struggling in their real estate careers at other 

companies, arrive at Harcourts gold and find themselves 

overwhelmed by the invaluable systems and assistance 

they receive from not only the Harcourts gold 

management team, but their gold colleagues. 

With this level of support, many of these consultants 

have gone on to levels of success they could never have 

imagined before. 

The entire gold management team is involved with 

training and mentoring. The managers all pride 

themselves on the level of guidance offered to new 

consultants studying for their real estate papers and 

are more than happy to give advice and direction when 

required. For the first six months that a new agent 

is licensed (and beyond, if required!), management 

supervision is always on offer. 

With the huge number of listings marketed by the 

Harcourts gold franchise across their four Christchurch 

offices at any one time, an unparalleled number of open 

home opportunities are available to new consultants to 

help them as they build up their businesses. Prominently 

positioned offices and a high profile also mean lots of 

walk-in opportunities, and all Harcourts gold consultants 

are offered opportunities to meet – and ultimately work 

with – these prospective sellers and buyers. 

So, if you know someone you think should consider a 

career in real estate, you’re considering a career in real 

estate yourself (or switching from another company), 

take a good look at a Harcourts gold opportunity and 

give me a call for a confidential chat. You won’t regret it.

Frustration over plan to leave intersection 

•From page 1 

A report showed that there 

were three further options 

considered but were ruled out 

because they were not feasible. 

The 7-2 vote in favour of not 

doing anything has been met 

with frustration from board 

member Aaron Campbell, who 

voted for option one. 

Mr Campbell said more work 

needed to happen before the 

decision was made by the board. 

He attended a site visit 

with traffic engineers and 

Environment Canterbury before 

the decision and said if the rest 

of the board had done the same 

they would have had a better 

understanding of the issue. 

Submissions were made by 

four stakeholders, three opposed 

the plan were made by Burnside 

High School, Christ the King 

School and former Labour MP 

Margaret Austin, who, as a 

resident, was unsatisfied with the 

proposal. 

The other submission was by 

Environment Canterbury public 

transport manager Edward 

Wright, who was in support of 

the plan as it would improve reliability 

of the Orbiter bus service. 

Board chairman Sam Mac- 

Donald, among others who voted 

for option two, was concerned 

that option one would put the

outside Burnside High and Christ the King schools, which 

becomes grid-locked at peak hours with cyclists, vehicles and

safety of children who use the 

footpath and intersection at risk. 

In response to the decision, Mr 

Wright said without changes, 

unreliability and additional 

travel time will remain for the 

Orbiter. 

“[Changes] would have resulted 

in a time saving of around five 

minutes for each anti-clockwise 

Orbiter trip at peak hours,” said 

Mr Wright. 

Mr Campbell sent a letter 

outlining his concern to Mayor 

Lianne Dalziel, city council chief 

executive Karleen Edwards and 

city councillor Pauline Cotter on 

Thursday. 

“This is the first time I have 

written to [the Mayor], that’s 

how strongly I feel about it,” 

said Mr Campbell. 

“I’ve asked if there is another 

avenue that this issue can be 

considered,” he said. 

Cr Cotter, who is the chairwoman 

of the infrastructure, 

transport and environment committee 

received Mr Campbell’s 

letter. Ms Dalziel and Dr Edwards 

were not able to respond. 

“There might be another way 

forward if we pick up some 

stronger engagement from the 

people concerned,” said Cr 

Cotter. 

But board chairman Sam 

MacDonald said that the 

decision would not have come 

before the board if it was not 

ready. 

He said in spite of not attending 

the site visit, most board 

members had been out to observe 

the intersection at different 

times. 

“If [the decision] has been 

put on our table it means it’s 

been reviewed by all 

the necessary staff,” 

said Mr MacDonald. 

Cr Raf Manji was in support 

of the intersection changes as he 

believed creating more space at 

the intersection would improve 

safety but acknowledged the 

outcome. 

“It’s such a busy road and 

with two schools [at the site] it’s 

almost impossible to try and 

work out a solution that suits 

everyone,” he said.

Community Board have been invited 

to the meeting at 7pm in the 

Christchurch Function Centre, 

340 Main North Rd. 

The meeting was set up by Alison

of the Redwood Hotel, along with 

two others, as an attempt to get 

the community together. 

Ms Hume said the floor will be 

open for people to discuss issues 

which may affect the community, 

such as the impact that the 

Christchurch Northern Corridor 

will have on roads in Redwood. 

Redwood Pharmacy owner 

Keith Elliot said he will be attending. 

“I think it will be good to talk 

to everybody,” said Mr Elliot.

WITH MARY IN FAITH 

TĀTOU KO MERE E WHAKAPONO ANA 

A NEW MARIAN COLLEGE FOR 2023 

MESSAGE FROM 

THE BOARD 

The Marian College Board is pleased 

to share the Bishop’s decision to 

relocate Marian College to north west 

Christchurch on a three hectare site. 

Our new College will neighbour St 

Joseph’s Primary School on land 

bordered by Vagues Road, Main North 

Road and Northcote Road, with the main 

entrance off Lydia Street. 

The new school is projected to cost in 

excess of $20 million and students are 

expected to start in February 2023. 

The Bishop said finding a new home for 

Marian College has always been one of 

his main priorities. The purchase of the 

former Foodstuffs warehouse property on 

Northcote Road has made this possible. 

He indicated scoping and design work 

will begin ready for when possession of 

the land takes place in April 2021. 

The news is exciting and very positive 

for Marian College and the changes are 

going to further strengthen and grow our 

Catholic community. 

Thank you to the Bishop on behalf of 

Marian College for his commitment to 

our future, and to the Catholic Diocese 

of Christchurch for its steady support 

over the years. 

The Catholic Bishop of Christchurch, Paul 

Martin and Marian College Principal Mary- 

Lou Davidson visiting Marian College’s 

new Papanui site. 

Thank you also to our school community 

for your loyalty and patience and to all 

the schools, businesses and communities 

who have supported Marian since the 

earthquakes. It means a lot to us. 

We look forward to the challenges the 

next four years bring us and to having 

closer working relationships with St 

Joseph’s School Papanui and our brother 

school St Bede’s College. 

Tātou ko Mere e whakapono ana 

With Mary in faith 

Jan Paterson 

Marian College Board of Trustees Chair 

SOME OF YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED 

What will the new school look like? 

It is too early to say just yet. What we do know is that we intend to ensure the Catholic 

special character, values, heritage and story of Marian is incorporated and reflected in our 

new school’s grounds and buildings. While we are fortunate to be getting a new school – 

the heart of Marian College will remain the same. 

Our new Forde Block (Social Sciences and Careers), which opened at the beginning 

of this year, combines the best of traditional and open-plan classroom settings within a 

multi-functional and sound-proof learning environment. So far, the feedback from students 

and teachers has been positive, so it’s likely our new school will have similarly designed 

classrooms. 

Will there be opportunities for input into the new school? 

Yes. We will be engaging with our school community and gathering ideas in coming 

months. 

Why is it taking until 2023 to get a new school? 

The newly purchased site is currently tenanted and the lease expires in 2021. The Catholic 

Diocese of Christchurch will then take possession of the land. In the meantime, there will 

be valuable time for consultation, scoping and design work, before construction starts. 

Will travel to and from the new school be more difficult? 

Our new site is conveniently located on main arterial roads including QEII Drive and the 

ring road to Eastern and seaside suburbs, Main North Road through to North Canterbury 

as well as the Orbiter bus route. Connecting cycleways include the Papanui Parallel 

Cycleway, Northern Line Cycleway and QEII Shared Cycleway. 

By the time our new school is ready, the Christchurch Northern Corridor will be open. It is 

expected this road will significantly reduce traffic volumes on Main North Road – by up to 

50 per cent. It will also create an opportunity for the city council to make changes to Main 

North Road resulting in improved public transport journey times. 

Access to transport is an important part of our planning. We are confident that our families 

will have suitable transport options for students travelling from more than 30 of our feeder 

primary schools - families living in Central and East Christchurch, the seaside suburbs and 

North Canterbury. 

My daughter is currently a senior student at Marian – will she feel left out? 

A wonderful aspect of Marian College is how supportive and understanding our school 

community is through periods of change. We often say: “once a Marian girl, always a 

Marian girl”. Marian College will be making every effort to include all students in the 

shaping of our new school - regardless of whether they will be attending. We are asking 

past students and staff of Marian College and also our founding schools St Mary’s College 

(Christchurch) and McKillop College, to provide valuable input into what the new school 

will look like.

Champion Centre ‘lifesaver’ 


IN THE weeks and months 

after her son Blake was born, the 

Champion Centre at Burwood 

Hospital was a lifesaver for Susie 

Chisnall and her family. 

Five-year-old Blake Chisnall 

has Down’s syndrome and has 

been going to sessions at the 

centre since he was just a few 

weeks old. Staff encouraged and 

supported him as he learned to 

crawl, walk and talk. 

Now, Ms Chisnall, of St Albans, 

has given back to the centre. 

She raised $4890 at a high tea 

and charity auction event at the 

hairdressing and beauty salon 

she co-owns, Salon Parlour on 

Cranford St, St Albans. 

The Champion Centre is a 

not-for-profit organisation that 

provides early intervention services 

to infants and children with 

significant developmental delays 

and disabilities. 

A night for two at Pavilions 

Hotel, a signed Crusaders jersey 

and two platinum tickets to 

Saturday’s Crusaders v Brumbies 

game, were some of the prizes 

which were auctioned off. 

Ms Chisnall said the staff at the 

centre, including occupational 

therapists, physiotherapists, 

social workers, and speech and 

language therapists are incredible. 

“At a time when you are really 

struggling to come to grips with 

all of the challenges you’re facing 

as a parent of a child with extra 

needs they are the people who 

give you information, support 

and just all around kindness and 

compassion,” she said. 

The Champion Centre opened 

in 1977 and is based on the belief 

that every child, regardless of 

physical, mental, or social capacity, 

has the right to be educated, 

to learn, grow, contribute, and to 

reach their individual potential. 

Play specialist Emma Chilvers 

has worked with Blake for two 

years and said he has been “delightful.” 

“[The donation] is overwhelming. 

What it says to us is that 

she appreciates what the centre 

stands for and the importance 

of early intervention,” said Mrs

$5000 for the

Chilvers. 

Grants and fundraising coordinator 

Karon Storr said that 

parents are “definitely the best 

ambassadors for the centre.” 

The Champion Centre has 

supported more than 2000 

families in Canterbury and is 

currently working with more 

than 165 children. 

However, less than 60 per cent 

of its services are funded through 

Government agencies.

Tree planting 

marks park 

opening 


A KOWHAI tree was planted 

to celebrate the opening of the 

St Albans Park and pavilion last 

Sunday. 

A crowd of residents attended the 

opening which had food, the annual 

skate jam event and speeches 

from members of the Papanui- 

Innes Community Board. 

Among those who attended 

were Norah Southorn and Marie 

Haughey – the two granddaughters 

of James Haughey, who 

sold the land of the park to the 

council in 1903. 

City councillor Pauline Cotter 

said it was fantastic to talk to 

people who were historically 

connected to the park. 

She said it will be good to see 

sports teams using the fields 

after being “virtually unusable” 

during the winter months. 

“It’s a real boost for the community,” 

said Cr Cotter. 

St Albans park had been under 

construction since January 2018 

to fix ongoing flooding issues. 

The pavilion was severely 

damaged in the February 22, 

2011, earthquakes and was not 

available to the community to 

utilise fully before the official 

opening.

The tragic events of 15 March will 

live with us as a country for ever. 

They should not, however, threaten 

our sense of identity as a nation 

that leads the world in the values of 

respect and tolerance. 

I stood with my fellow MPs at the 

National Remembrance Service in 

Christchurch to support our Muslim 

community and send a clear message 

that those tragic, heinous events do 

not represent us. We are still coming 

to terms with our loss but we are 

standing united in the determination 

we will not be altered by these 

events and that, as a country, we will 

continue to welcome people regardless 

of race or religion. 

Look out in your post box for my 

invitation to attend my over 60s’ 

morning tea. Our region is enjoying 

strong growth but we need to ensure 

we have a strong focus on creating 

an age-friendly community with the 

right services available to our over 

60s. As local MP, it’s important to 

me to hear your views, so I’d love to 

have your valuable input. 

On Friday, I’m hosting National’s 

Workplace Relations Spokesperson 

and MP for Coromandel Scott Simpson 

to a business lunch to give our 

residents an opportunity to understand 

how Government’s Employment 

Law Changes and Capital Gains 

Tax proposals could impact them and 

their businesses. If the proposals are 

passed, New Zealand would have 

one of the most aggressive capital 

gains taxes in the OECD, with an 

impact on KiwiSaver savings, people 

who take in boarders to help meet 

the mortgage, small business owners 

and farmers. 

Keep your diary open for Friday 3 

May when I will be featuring Hon 

Nikki Kaye, MP for Auckland Central, 

and local business owner Alice Mackenzie 

at my Inspiring Women networking 

lunch at Urban Revival Café 

in Silverstream. This is the second 

Inspiring Women event and the last 

was sold out, so if you would love 

to be inspired, whether you work 

in business or for the community, 

RSVP to eat@urbanrevival.co.nz for 

a ticket at a cost of $30 to cover your 

lunch.

Former resident prompts board to look 

at renewing Redwood playground 


A FORMER Redwood 

resident has called for a 

playground he used 44 years 

ago to be upgraded “on behalf 

of generations raised in 

Momorangi Cres.” 

In a letter to the Papanui- 

Innes Community Board, 

Andy Waugh, who lived in 

Momorangi Cres in 1975 

and was there when the 

playground was installed, said 

the lack of investment in it was 

“woeful.” 

Mr Waugh said the 

equipment is still the same as 

when he was a child. 

While writing an 

autobiography for his 50th 

birthday, Mr Waugh looked 

up the playground and noticed 

there is still “one bench seat, 

one slide, two seesaws and two 

swings.” 

Board chairwoman Ali Jones 

said its members are keen 

to progress the matter after 

receiving the letter. 

But when Ms Jones asked 

the city council about funding 

for the playground a reply said 

there was no money allocated 

in the current 2018-2028 Long 

Term Plan. 

“Now we have to discuss the 


DATED: The Momorangi Reserve playground has received no upgrades, except for the 

occasional fresh coat of paint, in the 44 years. 

information and look at it as a 

board,” said Ms Jones. 

Manager of community 

parks Al Hardy said the 

playground is in good 

condition and is repainted 

when required. 

The letter alerted the board 

to the liveable city outcomes 

in the Community Board Plan 

for 2017-2019, which state 

“children are provided with 

safe, fun playgrounds.” 

“A [1970s] playground 

present in 2019 is definitely not 

fun,” said Mr Waugh. 

Ms Jones said she was 

surprised the playground had 

not been renewed in decades 

but acknowledged it was 


probably because there is a 

“huge number” of playgrounds 

in the city. 

“Some of the really good 

things we have in life are old,” 

said Ms Jones. 

Mr Hardy said possible 

plans will be discussed with 

the community when there is a 

budget for a renewal.

The history of Firestone in Papanui 

Murray Williams of the 

Papanui Heritage Group 

highlights the history 

of the Firestone Factory 

in the first of a series of 

upcoming articles 

SHORTLY AFTER the end of 

World War 2, the New Zealand 

Government offered three 

licences to overseas companies 

to build and operate tyre 

manufacturing plants. 

The aim was to create 

self-sufficiency in this key 

industry and also to provide jobs 

for New Zealand workers. 

Two of the factories had to be 

located in the North Island and 

one in the South Island. 

The United States Firestone 

Corporation from Akron, Ohio, 

was allocated the South Island 

licence and after an extensive 

analysis settled on Papanui as 

the best location for this major 

investment. 

Papanui offered rail links with 

the rest of the South Island, a 

plentiful water supply, access to a 

reliable power supply and 

the potential of a large labour 

force. 

The actual site selected was 

on Langdons Rd, just over 

the railway line from Papanui 

Technical College (now Papanui 

High School). 

The land, about 11ha, had originally 

been part of the Papanui 

Bush until it was cut out by 1857, 

and at the time of the sale to 

Firestone, nearly 90 years later, 

had been Illingworth’s orchard. 

There had been some local 

disquiet about the presence of 

such a large factory in Langdons 

Rd, but these doubts were allayed 

when it was revealed that 

the plant would be set well back 

from the street and would also 

feature landscaping. 

There appears to have been no 

formal objection from Firestone’s 

nearest neighbour, Papanui 

Technical College. 

The factory was built by 

Christchurch contractor, Charles 

Luney, and in her history of the 

plant in Papanui, Carol Hayward 

recounts that many of Luney’s 

employees decided to join the 

Firestone workforce. 

The plant was formally opened 

on October 29, 1948, by Arnold 

Nordmeyer, the Minister of 

Industries and Commerce. 

He and the other speakers at 

the function were each 

rewarded with a brand new 

Firestone tyre with their names 

inscribed on it.

and Commerce

SHALDERS 

Also in 1948, a neon sign that 

advertised Firestone products 

was erected on the top of the 

Papanui Buildings located at the 

junction of Papanui, the North 

and Harewood Rds. 

In a relatively short time, the 

Firestone sign helped to develop 

strong brand awareness and 

helped to forge the link between 

the suburb and its largest 

manufacturer. 

Readers respond to 

Fendalton-Waimairi- 

Harewood Community 

Board chairman Sam 

MacDonald’s soapbox 

on concerns over rate 

increases 

Kenneth Thompson – 

What a joke the rates increases 

are. There is a house for sale in 

Hornby, GV value of $500k, 

which has been on the market 

for six weeks, highest offer was 

$450k, 10 per cent below its rated 

value. If anything, we should get 

a rebate. The city council needs to 

listen for once to the ratepayers 

who pay their wages – they are 

not our employers, we are theirs, 

and the sooner they remember 

that the better. Some who are on 

limited incomes are struggling 

to manage daily living. This city 

council is a disgrace, there are 

probably four who are any good, 

the rest are showpieces dictated 

to by the managers of which 

there are more than enough for 

a small city of 500,000 people. 

There is an old saying “too many 

cooks spoil the broth” – never 

more true than in our fair city. 

Sam Macdonald hits it on the 

head in his column. Good on 

him, we need people like him 

to say it as it is. I could go on 

and on about this city council’s 

failings there are so many. We all 

know what they are, we need to 

remember on election day who 

they are and vote accordingly. 

Peter Coleman – Sam is 

right to point out difficulties for 

fixed, low-income ratepayers. It 

affects us all. I get the impression 

that this council is not happy 

that we can presently manage 

our households. They want to 

incrementally turn up the heat to 

“rate us out of our homes” as Sam 

says. They also want us out of our 

cars. However, in the article, the 

fundamental issue of why there 

is such a need to raise our rates is 

not addressed. The council will 

have its reasons. But can we trust 

them in the light of what has 

happened over our water, unused 

bike lanes and extravagant 

big-ticket items? Why is the 

council acting like this? In my 

humble opinion, it is using an 

offshore blueprint. This is a 

deception, mainly because people 

are not aware of this. 

Jan Reeves – I would like to 

add my horror at how the rates 

may be going up. If the council 

would go back to basics, we 

would be much better off. I am 

fed up with all the grand ideas 

and ways to spend rates. Time 

to come back to thinking about 

the people who contribute the 

money it gets to spend. 

Jenny Jordan - I am worried 

along with many other people 

that if rates keep increasing, 

how will we manage to cope 

if our incomes are not increasing? 

I have rung the council to voice 

my concern and it said the rates 

will keep increasing, this is the 

plan that the city council has in 

place. My son lives on his own 

and pays his rates on his single 

income. Realistically he said 

his income is not likely to rise 

50 per cent in the next 10 years. 

So where does this extra money 

come from? 

I don’t know what planet 

some of these councillors are on 

but I think most people would 

agree most people will not be 

able to afford to stay in their own 

house. So where are we going 

to live? We really need the city 

council to understand what is 

realistic.

excellence 

“Good values are like a magnet – they attract good people” 

Being part of a large multi-national company 

is a huge responsibility at times. If you feel 

detached, you can easily get lost due to the 

sheer size of a big business. If the parent 

company provides a sense of vision and a set of 

values, the connection becomes both easier and 

more authentic. We find ourselves in this space 

as a local business. 

We’ve distilled our parent company’s beliefs to 

include our own vision and set of guiding values, 

and although they mirror those of a large brand, 

we’ve adjusted them so they reflect our own 

unique nuances. It’s so easy to be cynical about 

a vision or a company mission statement or any 

of the many seemingly ‘new age’ taglines that sit 

around business, but when it’s real, it feels right. 

And so it is with us. It’s taken a really long time to 

consolidate a vision that incorporates our desire 

to be the best realtors in New Zealand; adding 

value (tangible and intangible) to our clients and 

to the lives of the people who make up our team. 

(Thank you so much, Gilbert Enoka.) 

Not just their working lives, but the lives they 

envisaged achieving when they joined us, with all 

those associated dreams and hopes. 

Business is not easy and it doesn’t get easier with 

the years, but every day I get up on a mission to 

do my best. I’d rather race to any given finish line 

than crawl to the start, and knowing we’ve got 

a reason and a vision as a company to propel us 

forward makes it all the more special. 

What’s your vision? 

What do you stand for? 

I know the answers to these questions and, to 

anyone in business, so should you.

Christ’s student wins 

Cambridge scholarship 

SCHOOLS 

WILLIAM WYNN Thomas 

wants to change the world. 

The 17-year-old former Christ’s 

College student may be on the 

right path when he heads to 

Cambridge University to follow 

in the footsteps of Stephen Hawking. 

William was the winner 

of the $60,000 Sir Douglas 

Myers scholarship, which 

he’s using to head to the 

prestigious United Kingdom 

university and plans 

to study for the mathematical 

tripos course. 

“In the academic realm, 

I aspire to be part of the 

effort to unify quantum 

physics and relativity, which 

would constitute a scientific revolution 

of the greatest magnitude,” 

he said. 

“Furthermore, through my 

own research, I believe I can help 

place New Zealand on the academic 

map and foster its growth 

as a global hub of excellence.” 

William received six 

scholarships in calculus, 

physics, biology, chemistry 

and statistics. 

He was also head of 

the school choir, and 

orchestra, captain of 

the school football 

team, co-founder of the 

school journal, both 

founded and captained 

the Christ’s College 

e-Sports League of Legends team 

and represented Canterbury in 

William Wynn 

Thomas 

debating. 

But William said the reason 

more students don’t get into 

science and maths is the way its 

taught. 

“I believe that students are 

repelled from science because, 

in many cases, it is taught in an 

unapproachable manner with a 

curriculum that often lacks the 

ability to engage young minds.” 

Sir Douglas set up the 

scholarship 18 years ago for 

academically gifted students 

intending to return to New 

Zealand to become leaders in 

their fields. 

He was one of New Zealand’s 

richest people through his 

involvement in Lion Breweries 

before his death in 2017.

Orchestras combine for ‘fantastic’ show 

•From page 1 

Rangi Ruru director of music 

Janet Kingsbury said the show 

was “fantastic.” 

“One of the highlights for all of 

us involved was seeing students 

collaborating and working together 

as a team to create something 

greater than they would 

be able to do on their own,” said 

Mrs Kingsbury. 

Students performed in their 

own school orchestras before 

merging for the combined 

evening concert. 

Mrs Kingsbury and a colleague 

came up with the idea to “reinvent” 

the show as a similar oneoff 

show had been performed 

seven years earlier. 

Music teachers and principals 

of all schools involved agreed on 

the idea and worked together to 

make it happen. 

ACHIEVE: Tulsi Lathia, 17, will be the only Christchurch 

representative at the developing leaders’ expedition in Vietnam 

later this month. 

Business trip for 

Rangi ‘Girl Boss’ 


A YEAR 13 Rangi 

Ruru Girls’ School student 

will be the only Christchurch 

representative to go on a business 

study trip to Vietnam. 

Tulsi Lathia of Cashmere, 17, 

was one of 12 students around 

New Zealand selected by Young 

Enterprise NZ for the two week 

long developing leaders’ expedition 

trip at the end of the month. 

The expedition aims to expose 

students to opportunities 

after school and in the hub of 

businesses in Asia. 

Students were chosen based 

on their passion for business, 

interest in learning about another 

culture and developing their confidence 

and global perspective. 

“I cannot wait to immerse in 

the Vietnam business world and 

network with entrepreneurs and 

students who are as passionate 

about business as I am,” said 

Tulsi. 

“It will be an amazing experience 

that will help me develop 

new business skills and bring my 

goals for the future into focus.” 

Tulsi was also awarded the Innovative 

Award at 2018 national 

Girl Boss awards. 

She was one of six chosen from 

over 400 nominations of young 

women who had “driven change 

in their community.” 

Tulsi invented a device that 

could help locate people following 

a natural disaster and 

a second device that was a fire 

detection, evacuation and control 

system. Teacher manager of 

young enterprise at Rangi Ruru, 

Jacqui Griffith said the trip will 

be a great opportunity for Tulsi. 

Students will learn about the 

culture and business community 

in Ho Chi Minh City – which 

will include visits to companies, 

meeting with local entrepreneurs, 

as well as those involved in some 

of New Zealand’s trade relationships. 

For a business challenge, 

students will be put into mixed 

teams with local students, issued 

with a challenge to come up with 

a solution that uses their innovative 

thinking. 

“This is a wonderful 

opportunity for students to 

understand the local business 

culture and trade environment 

and spend time with like-minded 

peers,” said Ms Griffith.

High school rowing’s new champs 

• By Gordon Findlater 

CHRISTCHURCH Boys’ High 

School stamped their authority 

at Maadi Cup as secondary 

school rowing’s newest 

powerhouse. 

At the regatta on Lake Karapiro 

in Cambridge, CBHS won 

their first ever Maadi Cup, but 

were also the regatta with 42 

points on the official tally. 

They beat out tradition rowing 

schools Hamilton Boys’ High 

School in second with 37 points 

and St Peter’s School (Cambridge) 

in third overall with 28 

points. 

Points are awarded to crews 

that finish in the top three in the 

A finals. 

In the Maadi Cup under-18 

coxed eight race, defending 

champions Christ’s College took 

an early lead before CBHS made 

their move at the 1000m. 

The crew of Scott Shackleton, 

Tom Fraser, Cameron Long, 

Ethan Alderlieste, Cameron 

Henderson, Angus Templeton, 

James Glover, Ben Brown and 

coxswain Timothy Heritage 

steadily increased their pace and 

eventually took the lead, crossing 

the finish line in 5mins 54.31secs 

with Christ’s College taking 

silver in 5mins 55.71secs. 

CBHS also won the Springbok 

Shield under-18 coxed four in a 

record time of 6mins 25.39secs.

Ethan Alderlieste, Cameron 

Henderson, Tom Fraser and 

coxswain Timothy Heritage beat 

out Westlake Boys’ High School 

and Christ’s College. 

The major girl’s eights spoils 

went to St Margaret’s College, 

who won the Levin Jubilee Cup – 

an event that St Margaret’s College 

has won six times before. 

The crew of Rosa Foster, Lucy 

Botting, Charlotte Darry, Ann 

Wilson, Kate Harris, Gaby 

McKellar, Emma Roberts, Sophie 

Lightbourne and coxswain 

Claudia Bethell beat out Waikato 

Diocesan School and St Peter’s 

School. 

St Margaret’s coach Ian Smallman 

commented after their race 

– “I’m just really proud of how 

well they rowed, there were a few 

girls in today’s boat who had an 

off season last year with various 

set-backs, and getting them all 

back into their best condition for 

today’s final has being incredibly 

satisfying.’’ 

In total St Margaret’s won 

three golds and one silver at the 

regatta. 

Meanwhile, Rangi Ruru Girls’ 

School also had success winning 

two gold, one silver and three 

bronze medals. One of the highlights 

for Rangi Ruru came in 

SPORT 

the under-18 novice coxed eight 

where they ran two crews who 

finished second and third. 

“The novice eight event was 

particularly significant because 

at the end of the race, we had 

eighteen girls on the podium. 

Both our first and second crew 

showed grit and determination 

to pull that off,” said Rangi Ruru 

rowing manager Ella Vink.

Athletics Day 

Burnside High School Athletics Day was held over two days in February. Participation in the event was 

very high, with a number of records being broken that had stood for many years. 

From there 75 students went on to represent the school at the Canterbury Secondary School’s 

Athletics Championships which was held at Nga Puna Wai on 19th and 23rd of March. Students 

were excited to compete on an artificial track after many years competing on grass following the 

earthquakes. We came away with twelve Canterbury titles including two relay titles. 

Burnside High School are the winners of the 2019 Top Co-Ed School Award for Canterbury Athletics.

International Olympiad 

Eric Song has recently been selected as one of 

four students to represent New Zealand at this 

year’s International Olympiad Informatics. The 

International Olympiad Informatics is the most 

prestigious computer science competition in the 

world for secondary school students. 

The 2019 IOI will be a week-long competition held 

in Baku, Azerbaijan. 

Training for the Olympiad will include a ten day 

training camp in Sydney over the Easter holidays 

and a pre-departure camp before leaving for Baku 

in early August. The lead supervisor and mentor 

of the New Zealand delegation this year - Logan 

Glasson - is another Burnside graduate who in the 

past achieved great results in this competition. 

The team was formed through a highly competitive 

selection process. Students were first identified 

from various competitions last year and invited 

to attend an intensive training camp in January. 

Through several competitions, starting at the camp 

and continuing through February and March, the 30 

camp participants were narrowed down to the final 

team of four representing New Zealand. 

All the very best Eric.

Junior kayakers get NZ call-up 


KAYAKERS FROM north-west 

schools will make up the New 

Zealand female junior squad at 

the world junior championships 

in Romania in August. 

Last week Canoe Racing New 

Zealand announced that Olivia 

Brett (St Andrew’s College), Pieta 

Luthi (St Margaret’s College), 

Jess Nisbett (Papanui High 

School), Cass Hetherington 

(Christchurch Girls’ High 

School) and Tilly Pritchard 

(Hagley College) will make up 

the five strong junior women’s 

squad. 

THe five girls are all part of the 

Arawa Canoe Club at Kerrs Reach. 

“We’re wrapped. It’s a culmination 

of a lot of hard work from 

these kids and their coach Paul 

Fidow,” said Arawa president 

Stuart Clark. 

“They’re training nine or more 

times a week with five or six of 

those being at six o’clock in the 

morning in the gym and on the 

river. The Avon River is not the 

most pleasant place to be at that 

time of the day sometimes.” 

Brett will compete in the K1 

200 and will team up with Luthi 

in the K2 500. Luthi, Pritchard, 

Lisbett and Hetherington will 

make up the K4 500. Pritchard 

is also being considered for the 

K1 500. 

In February the girls dominated 

the under-18 division at 

the national championships 

INTERNATIONAL STAGE: Olivia Brett and Pieta Luthi will make up the New Zealand under-18 girls K2 boat at the junior world 

championships in Romania. Right – Arawa’s under-18 K4 women’s teams won both the K4 200 and 500 at nationals in February and 

will make up the New Zealand under-18 K4 squad. 

which helped Arawa claim the 

top club honours. Brett was the 

most dominant athlete at the 

championships winning five 

gold medals in the under-18 K1 

200, under-18 K1 500, under-18 

K2 200, under-18 K2 500 and 

under-18 K4 500. 

The girls are currently 

preparing for the Asia Pacific 

SPORT 

Cup on Lake Karapiro in 

Cambridge in May which is a 

tri-series between NZ Australia 

and Japan. The regatta will be 

used as their last competitive 

racing before heading to 

Europe for the world junior 

championships. 

Ben Duffy has also been 

selected for the same event in 

Romania where he will be racing 

in the under-23 men’s K4. Ben is 

now based in Cambridge where 

he trains with the national men’s 

squad, but remains a staunch 

Cantabrian and member of the 

Arawa club. 

Arawa were also acknowledged 

for their accomplishments at 

national and international 

level by being finalist for the 

club of the year award at the 

recent Canterbury Sports

Transform 

your garden 

with a natural timber sauna 

For those seeking the ultimate in garden lifestyle, 

the answer can be found at Canterbury Saunas, says 

business owner Mark Smith. As he explains, a Finnish 

barrel sauna turns a garden into a sanctuary of 

relaxation, refreshment and rejuvenation. 

The barrels come from Finland and 

are made by a passionate family 

company, who live, breathe and 

sleep sauna, Mark says. They are 

handcrafted from Thermowood, a 

very slow-growing Nordic Spruce 

that has been heat-treated at 205 

degrees celcius for two days. The 

timber is free of resin, durable, and 

not prone to warping, so is perfect 

for sauna. Thermowood is also 25 per 

cent more thermally efficient compared to 

cedar. 

“Similar-looking saunas are available elsewhere. 

However, at Canterbury Saunas we use 45mm-thick 

timber to ensure longevity and we offer many upgrade 

options, such as windows and different lengths and 

widths. 

”People were taken aback at the recent Canterbury 

Home Show, at the quality of the ball-and-socket 

joinery and how many growth rings were on the timber 

walls – people kept coming up and stroking them,” 

Mark says. 

Unrivalled in size and options for customisation, 

Canterbury Saunas also exclusively offers 

the Huum heater range, from 4.5kw to 

18kw. The standard model holds 55kg 

of stones, which produces fabulous 

steam, and with an upgrade option 

the heater can be controlled 

remotely with a smart phone. 

For a more rustic feel, clients can 

also upgrade to a traditional woodburning 

heater, perfect for people in 

remote locations. 

Mark says sauna compares well to a 

conventional spa pool, without the need to 

run the heater constantly. He has used his St Albans 

sauna several times a week for over a year and has 

found that the electricity costs are about $2 a session. 

Virtually maintenance free, there are no slippery steps, 

filters to be changed or harsh chemicals to add to the 

sauna – a quick sweep out and wipe down every few 

weeks is sufficient. Oiling the outside of the timber 

once a year is also recommended. 

Published studies from the University of Bristol, which 

used very large study groups over 20 years, have 

come back with some interesting findings, Mark says. 

Regular use of Finnish-style saunas can reduce blood 

pressure and the chance of stroke. It also benefits 

skin condition and eases breathing problems. Soft 

tissue aches and pains are also eased in the heat of 

sauna. Finally, the barrel shape and quiet environment 

combine to create a feeling of peace and sanctuary 

away from the hectic pace of life. 

Canterbury Saunas has a demonstration model 

at Oderings Garden Centre, 20 West Coast Road, 

Yaldhurst. Website www.canterburysaunas.co.nz 

Six wayS SaunaS 

beat spa pools 

Ease aches and pains away with a Scandinavian 

designed and crafted barrel sauna, the hot 

new option with some great advantages. 

1. Saunas only use power when in use. 

2. Saunas aren’t noisy. 

3. Easier to keep clean with no need for chemicals. 

4. Enjoyable in any weather, cocooned from 

the elements. 

5. Safer – no slippery steps, level floor, and easy to get 

in and out of. 

6. Lower maintenance because there’s only one 

working part, the heater.

Lily gets trifecta of triathlon titles 

CHAMPION: Lily Greenwood was dominant in the New Zealand 

secondary school triathlon championship in New Plymouth. 

RANGI RURU Girls School 

student Lily Greenwood won the 

under-13 title at the New Zealand 

secondary school triathlon 

championship in New Plymouth. 

Lily, a year 9 student, finished 

nearly a minute ahead of her 

nearest rival. 

In fact, her time of 24mins 

38secs would have been good 

enough to finish fifth in the boys 

event. 

Lily was fourth out of the 

water with a swim time of 3mins 

51secs. 

She then went on to complete 

the cycle leg in 11mins 43secs to 

head into the transition 

before the final run in third 

spot. 

But it was her dominance in 

the running leg, which 

she completed in 8mins 4secs, 

which saw her romp to 

victory. 

The result also meant that Lily 

completed an impressive 

trifecta of school titles this 

year. 

Last month she won the 

junior girls individual title at the 

South Island secondary schools 

triathlon in Oamaru. 

She then won the under-14 

girls title at the Canterbury 

secondary schools triathlon 

champs in Sumner a week 

later. 

Lily credits her success to 

Rangi cycle coach Marc Prutton’s 

training programme, as well as 

her training with the Canterbury 

Tri Club. 

There was also success at the 

event for Medbury School pupil 

Olli Aitken, who finished 

second in the under-12 boys 

race.

WORKSAFE NEW Zealand 

has b en a proached in a bid to 

fina ly repair the potholes in New 

Brighton’s Hawke St car park. 

Coastal-Burw od Ward city 

counci lor David East wants 

WorkSafe to pre sure the car 

park’s private owners into 

repairing the potholes which are 

a “trip and vehicle” hazard. 

WorkSafe chief inspector 

a se sment southern Da ren 

Handforth said it may be able to 

take action under the Health and 

Safety at Work Act 2015, “as a 

person conducting a busine s or 

undertaking.” 

Mr Handforth said WorkSafe 

is aware of the concerns raised by 

Cr East abou the car park. 

“WorkSafe has completed 

an a se sment visi to the site 

and is engaging with the owner 

to advise them that it is their 

responsibility to manage their 

risks a propriately.” 

Different parts of the car park 

are owned by various people 

and the Coastal-Burw od 

Community Board recently 

wrote to them about its concerns 

around health and safety. 

Cr East said the bi gest i sue 

in the past has b en ge ting in 

touch with the landlords and 

owners and ge ting them to 

agr e to anything. “The board 

a preciates that multi-ownership 

of the parking space may present 

a difficulty in co-ordinating 

repair/resurfacing but felt obliged 

to pa s these concerns onto you,” 

said the le ter. 

One reply has b en received so 

far from an owner who is wi ling 

to discu s the i sue. However, a l 

the owners would have to agr e 

to undertake work. 

Cr East said there had b en 

a “number of incidences” in 

the car park of people injuring 

themselves which had gone 

unreported. 

“I’ve always though that it 

has b en quite amazing that we 

haven’t had any serious a cidents 

or senior citizens perhaps 

tri ping in those potholes and 

doing themselve some damage.” 

He is confiden the new 

a proach wi l bring results. 

“I think the WorkSafe 

involvement may prove to be the 

lever that we are l oking for.” 

New bid to fix potholes

THE PAPANUI-I nes 

Community Board has taken the 

rare step of starting a petition 

to figh the city council over 

funding. 

Signatures are being co lected 

in a bid to get funding for a community 

facility in Shirley. 

It comes after the city council 

removed funding for the centre 

pla ned for Shirley Rd, near the 

intersection with Hi ls Rd. This 

was the site of the former community 

centre, which was badly 

damaged in the February 2, 

20 1, earthquake. 

The removal o funding 

prompted community board 

chairwoman Ali Jones to threaten 

to stand down, citing it as her “die 

in the ditch” project. 

Ms Jone said the board’s role 

is to represen the community, 

and by gathering signatures from 

residents, it was fulfi ling that 

role. 

“One of the roles of a community 

board is to represent and act 

as advocate for the interests of its 

community and this is what we 

are doing. The LTP and a nual 

plans are a l about lo bying the 

council.”

Cave Rock 

Apartments’ 

owners 

expect EQC 

sign-off 

this week 

• By Sarla Donovan 

THE OWNERS of Sumner’s Cave 

Rock Apartments ar expecting the 

Earthquake Commi sion to sign-off 

on a se tlement agr emen this w ek. 

Body corporate chairman Mike 

White said the group had gone 

into mediation with IAG and EQC 

on February 20, and signed off 

on a deal with IAG on February 

2 – coincidenta ly seven years 

to the day after the February 2, 

20 1, earthquake. However, they 

are waiting for EQC to sign the 

agr ement. 

“Given that EQC actua ly drafted 

the agr ement, there’ l be no 

problem with them doing that.” 

The apartment suffered damage 

in the February and June, 20 1, 

earthquakes and were demolished in 

late 2012. In 2016, IAG’s offer of the 

difference betw en indemnity value, 

$10 mi lion, and the sum insured, 

$16 mi lion, was rejected by the body 

corporate. 

The mediation agr ement 

prevented Mr White from disclosing 

the se tlement amount, but he said it 

involved the two parties paying “a bit 

more money than they’d wanted to 

earlier.”

A WOOLSTON butcher proved 

to be a cut above the rest in an 

international competition. 

New World Fe ry Rd butcher 

Jeremy Garth and his team, the 

Pure South Sharp Blacks, recently 

came second a the World 

Butchers’ Cha lenge in Northern 

Ireland. 

It was the firs time Mr Garth 

had competed in the cha lenge 

and he was “rea ly proud” of 

how the team performed. 

“We produced some top quality 

products and came away 

with a g od result so we’re very 

ha py,” he said. 

The preparation for this year’s 

World Butchers’ Cha lenge was 

intense as the team members 

met in Auckland every two 

months for lengthy w ekend 

practices. 

Mr Garth, who has b en a 

butcher for 14 years, said the 

competition brought back his 

pa sion for the job. 

“Doing a l thi stuff and 

m eting new people, s eing new 

ideas, it just brings that flair 

back for you,” he said. 

Mr Garth hopes to own a 

butcher shop of his own someday 

but says for now he wi l focus 

on ge ting mor experience 

and on the 2020 cha lenge. 

“In two years’ time, we’ l be 

going back to try and win the 

title,” he said. 

U per Ri carton butcher Corey 

Winder was part of the Pure 

South Sharp Blacks team.

A CRACKDOWN on mobile 

traders acro s the districts could 

be l oming. 

However, the public has li tle 

interest in having input into the 

i sue. 

Only eight submi sions were 

received for a potential bylaw 

aimed at regulating commercial 

activities in public places. 

The district council wi l be 

holding a hearing for the Public 

Places Bylaw and Policy on Commercial 

Activities and Events in 

Public Places. 

A hearing i scheduled to be 

held on Thursday. 

The bylaw comes as an increasing 

number of mobile traders 

are s eking to operate in Selwyn, 

especia ly during the summer 

months. 

In the past year, the district 

council has received five inquiries 

about se ting up a mobile busine s 

on private or public land. 

A report said there are two 

str et operators in Darfield, a 

coff e cart is parked beside the 

railway in Ro leston, and a pi za 

cart visits Lincoln w ekly betw en 

September-May along with a Thai

Pupils learn about role of war horses 

GR ENDALE SCHOOL pupils 

have taken a step back in time, 

s eing first hand what men and 

horses l oked like during war. 

The New Zealand Mounted 

Rifles Charitable Trust president 

Mark A pleton and member 

Mike Donaldson t ok their 

horses to the sch ol on Monday, 

in a bid to educate pupils on the 

sacrifice their ancestors made in 

World War 1 and World War 2. 

Mr A pleton and Mr Donaldson 

a rived a the sch ol dre sed 

in World War 1 uniforms while 

their horses Tommy and Kruze 

wore 1 0-year-old sa dles donated 

to the trust. 

The presentation is a prelude 

to the Gr endale Recreation Reserve 

Management Commi t e’s 

upcoming Anzac Day service. 

As a tribute to those who 

served, members of the trust wi l 

ride horseback to the service. 

Mr A pleton said it was 

important children were 

educated on what soldiers 

wen through during World 

War 1 and World War 2. 

But he said the presentation 

didn’t go into t o much detail 

and was more of a “show and 

te l” to make them aware of what 

the soldiers l oked like. 

Children were shown the type 

of kits horses were required to 

wear in the war.

AN U PER Ri carton butcher 

has proven himself to be a cut 

above his Au sie rivals at an 

international competition. 

Elite Meats owner Corey 

Winder was named in the a l 

star team a the World Butchers’ 

Cha lenge in Northern Ireland. 

Mr Winder and his team, the 

Pure South Sharp Blacks, which 

includes W olston butcher 

Jeremy Garth, finished second 

in the competition. 

He said the cha lenge started 

as a “transtasman test match” 

seven years ago. 

The preparation for this 

year’s World Butchers’ Challenge 

was intense as the team 

members met in Auckland 

every two months for lengthy 

w ekend practices. Mr Winder 

said coming second against 1 

other countries was a “fantastic” 

result. 

“To get second behind Ireland 

was a huge achievement and to 

be ahead of Australia is an 

even bi ger thing for us,” he 

said. 

But Mr Winder admires the 

Australian team. 

“Those guys over there 

[Australia] are on top of their 

game, they do a g od job,” he 

said. 

“And it just showcases that 

New Zealand has got some 

of the best butchers in the 

world,” he said. 

Mr Winder has b en a butcher 

since the age of 19.

THE HALSWE L-Hornby- 

Ri carton Community Board 

has b en given the gr en ligh to 

o pose the pla ned qua ry near 

Templeton. 

Mayor Lia ne Dalziel told the 

board on Thursday it had the okay 

from the city council to make a 

submi sion if Fulton Hogan a plies 

for a resource consen to create a 

qua ry. 

Board chairman Mike Mora 

told Western News the submission 

would likely o pose Fulton Hogan’s 

plan. 

“You can just about guarant e 

it . because we [the community 

board] don’t believe qua ries 

should be so close to residential 

areas,” he said. 

Mr Mora said he wasn’t sure if 

the city council would endorse the 

board’ submi sion. 

“I’d like to think so because the 

city council has had their eyes 

open as we l ove recent years over 

the crysta line silica risk,” he said. 

Mr Mora said the community 

board wi l be “representing and 

advocating” for the Templeton 

community.
