Said city council head of libraries<br />
and information Carolyn Robertson:<br />
“Among the rarities is The<br />
New Zealand Wheelman, a very<br />
fragile Christchurch publication<br />
on cycling in the 1890s, along with<br />
never-seen-before records of local<br />
and community organisations and<br />
clubs, churches, businesses and<br />
individuals.”<br />
Ms Robertson said the display<br />
provides a valuable portal into the<br />
past.<br />
“It’s vital to enhance and extend<br />
our collective memory and share<br />
our heritage with the widest possible<br />
audience via channels such as Canterbury<br />
Stories, she said.<br />
“By preserving our precious photographs<br />
and publications, we can<br />
protect those resources for future<br />
generations.”<br />
Christchurch City Libraries’<br />
physical heritage collection covers<br />
Canterbury and Chatham Island<br />
from 1850 on and includes letters,<br />
diaries, booklets, government documents<br />
and personal papers.<br />
Digitised material from this collection<br />
will be available over time.<br />
The Canterbury Stories display<br />
features different themes and various<br />
options for exploring it, including<br />
the ability to enlarge images.<br />
HISTORIC: Attendees at a mayoral garden party held on the<br />
grounds of Mona Vale in the 1980s. Right – The Friendship Totem<br />
Pole being installed at its new location near the roundabout at the<br />
end of Memorial Ave at Christchurch International Airport. The Totem<br />
Pole was moved from Little Hagley Park on Harper Ave in November<br />
1980. <br />
Said Ms Robertson: “We will<br />
continue to share – and add –<br />
more diverse and personal stories<br />
and images that document the<br />
remarkable story of our region’s<br />
transformation.”<br />

<strong>January</strong> is a great time to look<br />
ahead as we start the year reenergised<br />
from time spent with<br />
family and friends. I’m looking<br />
forward to continuing to work<br />
hard for you and advocating in<br />
Parliament to ensure our region<br />
gets the services and resources we<br />
need. This year we celebrate the<br />
opening of the Northern Corridor<br />
― I turned the sod in 2016 and<br />
was impressed to hear about the<br />
high safety specifications from the<br />
project team during a site visit last<br />
year. The project will move heavy<br />
traffic away from residents’ houses<br />
and provide safer journeys for all<br />
types of travel.<br />
These roading projects, including<br />
the Western Belfast Bypass, are<br />
future proofing our city’s transport<br />
needs. It makes sense to start<br />
work on the logical next step: the<br />
Christchurch Northern Motorway<br />
from Belfast to Pegasus. This is<br />
something I’ve been fighting for<br />
since Government cancelled the<br />
project. I petitioned Parliament to<br />
get behind our region. We now<br />
have a window of opportunity to<br />
voice our demands that this project<br />
be re-instated after Government<br />
was given a package of projects<br />
to consider as part of necessary<br />
infrastructure spending to stimulate<br />
the economy. I will be holding a<br />
rally on 9 February so residents<br />
can stand together on this issue.<br />

Access to good health services<br />
is a priority. Elective surgeries are<br />
down in Canterbury and this is<br />
something residents are feeding<br />
back to me. Having health targets<br />
helps us to focus on the outcomes.<br />
