LYTTELTON RESIDENTS are
getting active so they can live
stronger for longer.
A new older persons’ strength
and balance class held at the
Trinity Hall in the Lyttelton Recreation
Centre has been a hit with
the portside community.
It is a collaborative approach
between Sport Canterbury’s
Green Prescription and
Live Stronger for Longer, a
programme which aims to
strengthen people over the age
of 65.
Lyttelton resident Anne Jolliffe
was delighted to see a class starting
up again in the area.
“For many years we had a class
for older people down here, but
then attendance dropped away
due to age and earthquakes.
“People come to practice balance
skills for day to day living

FITNESS:
About 20
participants
attend
the older
persons’
strength
and balance
class held
each week
at the Trinity
Hall in
Lyttelton.
Older persons’ exercise
class proves popular
that we need to keep us away
from the doctor.”
About 20 participants turn up
each week to take part in a range
of different activities and exercises
aimed to improve general
fitness and mobility as well as
cognitive exercises to help with
everyday stability.
Carol Hodgson is a regular
attendee at the classes which
run every Tuesday from 10.30 to
11.30am.
“I have arthritis, so the locality
is ideal for me. It’s also good to
get out and meet new people in
my community,” she said.
A strong turnout has lead to the
event becoming a permanent fixture
in the Lyttelton community
calendar.
Sessions are priced at $3 with
coffee and tea provided after the
class.

Healthy harbour plan under way
Karen
Banwell was
appointed
as the
Whakaraupō
programme
manager
late last
year. A range of projects
associated with the
Whaka-Ora Healthy
Harbour plan have recently
started and she’s looking
forward to enhancing
community engagement
around the plan
I am excited about getting
the Whaka-Ora Healthy Harbour
plan under way. This is a
wonderful opportunity for the
community to be involved in the
restoration of the Whakaraupō/
Lyttelton Harbour catchment
for ecological and cultural outcomes.
If we follow the markers laid
down in the plan, native birds
such as tūī, kārearea, and kāhu
can prosper, while our streams,
foreshore and wetlands thrive. I
feel privileged to be part of the
process.
The Whaka-Ora Healthy
Harbour Plan is all about engaging
the local community, so they
can play their part. The partners
– Christchurch City Council,
Ngāti Wheke, Te Rūnanga
o Ngai Tahu, Lyttelton Port
Company and Environment
Canterbury – have recently upgraded
the Whaka-Ora Healthy
Harbour website. This was done
to make it more user-friendly to
show what has been completed
and to display how people can
be involved, so we can all work
toward realising the Whaka-Ora
Healthy Harbour plan.
We have provided funding to
local groups such as the Otamahua
Quail Island Restoration
Trust, Diamond Harbour Reserve
Committee, and our local
schools to continue with their
restoration efforts. The schools
will also be involved to carry out
their environmental education
projects to measure the water
quality and invertebrate life of
local streams.
The partners have set up a
community advisory group
made up of local residents,

and the Banks Peninsula
Community Board.
All members are well embedded
in local restoration activities.
They will help guide where
community action is best directed
to help restore Whakaraupō/
Lyttelton Harbour.
Conservation Volunteers New
Zealand will also lead a range
of initiatives within the harbour
from planting, to maintenance
work, to pest and predator
control.
There will be something for
everyone to be involved in, to be
a changemaker.
