HUGH CANARD has been on 

a four-decade mission to save 

New Zealand’s rivers. 

Megan 

A passion for water conservation 

evolved during his childhood 

when all his favourite 

rivers that he loved to swim 

and kayak in were turned into 

lakes to make way for dams. 

Questioning everything ever 

since, he dedicated his life to 

ensuring people and authorities 

are honest about the consequences 

of their actions on the 

environment. And it was why 

the Spreydon resident was made

Research 

shows 

high tide 

increase 

NEW RESEARCH has found 

the biggest increase in high tide 

levels across Christchurch is at 

the Ferrymead Bridge. 

The maximum increase was 

84mm. 

This, alongside other new 

high tide statistics, has provided 

the city council with a greater 

understanding of the flood risk 

in Christchurch’s tidal areas. 

Engineering consultancy GHD 

Christchurch, in collaboration 

with Netherlands-based flood 

risk experts HKV, put the 

statistics together using advanced 

analysis that looks at sea level 

influences. 

These include weather patterns, 

such as significant rainfall events, 

sea-level rise, and the effects of 

wind and waves on the sea. The 

companies were commissioned 

by the city council, which hopes 

to understand the frequency 

of high water levels at various 

locations around the city. 

The research shows a slightly 

higher water level for most 

high tide levels than was 

calculated when the statistics for 

Christchurch were last reviewed 

in 2018.

Staff sought for Te Pou Toe Toe: 

Linwood pool ahead of opening 

HIRING: Te Pou Toe Toe: Linwood Pool is seeking staff ahead of its opening later this year. An artist’s impression shows what 

the pool will look like (top right), with construction well under way.

STAFF ARE being sought for 

the new Te Pou Toetoe: Linwood 

Pool, which is due to open later 

this year. 

The $22 million facility on 

the corner of Smith St and Linwood 

Ave will have a multi-use 

25-metre lane pool, a deep water 

splash pool, a family spa pool, a 

learn-to-swim pool, and a pool 

and water deck for toddlers. 

Said city council head of 

recreation, sports and events 

Nigel Cox: “We are looking 

for lifeguards, swim education 

instructors, recreation tutors, 

group fitness and aqua fitness 

instructors, and customer experience 

representatives who can 

help ensure that people using the 

facility get the most out of their 

visit.” 

A drop-in session will be 

held at Linwood Library today 

(4-6pm) to discuss roles for anyone 

thinking of applying. 

The new pool will also have 

community meeting rooms and 

a kitchen, while outside there 

will be picnic tables, tennis and 

multi-use courts, cycle stands, 

parking and plenty of open areas.

Making sure rivers are ‘flowing free’ 

•From page 1 

Canard joins five others 

from the Southern View area 

also recognised on Monday. 

“I’m really thrilled and 

thankful for all the people I 

met along the way and supported 

me,” he said. 

Canard was president of 

Whitewater New Zealand Inc 

from 1980 to 1990 and has 

been its patron since 1992. 

He is a member of the 

Canterbury Regional Water 

Committee and contributed 

to policy forums, providing 

guidance to members responsible 

for representing the 

interests of paddle sports, river 

recreation and conservation 

throughout New Zealand. 

Canard has also led hundreds 

of amateur kayaking 

and rafting trips for the Canterbury 

Whitewater Club. 

Over the past 40 years, he 

has been instrumental in 

securing Water Conservation 

Orders on the Kawarau, Buller, 

Grey, Rangitata and Mohaka 

rivers. 

But it did not stop there – he 

has either been a member or 

chairman of numerous organisations 

nationwide, including 

the Nelson-Marlborough 

Conservation Board, National 

Water Strategy Working 

ADVENTURE: Hugh Canard takes on some rapids along the Waiatoto River on the 

West Coast. 

Group, and the Packrafting 

Association of New Zealand. 

Canard developed certificates 

and codes of practice 

for the Sea Kayak Operators 

Association, which he helped 

establish, and helped purchase 

land by the Buller River in 

order to retain public access. 

But most of all, his proudest 

achievement was “the fact that 

some really big rivers are still 

there and flowing free” and 

having a hand in making sure 

it stays that way. 

He said it has become much 

easier than it was 20 years ago 

to have conversations with 

people like irrigators around 

taking care of waterways. He 

said society is starting to care 

more about the natural world. 

“There’s no money in leaving 

a river alone,” said Canard. 

“We all drink water and 

flush the toilet, so we need to 

think about where it comes 

from, the consequences of our 

actions and be honest about 

them.”

Māori educator, former MP honoured 

Other residents from 

the Southern View 

area received Queen’s 

Birthday Honours 

on Monday. They 

have dedicated their 

time and energy in 

a diverse range of 

areas, including Māori, 

disability advocacy, 

special education and 

refugee resettlement 

•Mairehe Tankersley, 

Sydenham, Member of 

the New Zealand Order of 

Merit 

Tankersley has received the 

honour for services to prisoners’ 

welfare, and Māori. 

Tankersley (Kāi Tahu, Kāti 

Irakēhu, Kāti Huikai, Kāi 

Tūtehuarewa) is currently chair 

of Te Rūnaka ki Ōtautahi o 

Kāi Tahu Trust and has been 

committed to initiatives with a 

Kaupapa Māori foundation. 

Tankersley has a long history 

of such initiatives with the 

Department of Corrections, 

particularly at Christchurch 

Women’s Prison where she has 

been a kaiwhakamana and lead 

facilitator of the Tikanga Māori 

programme for 14 years. 

She is a social worker, Māori 

educator and director of Jade 

Associates – Pounamu Kahuraki, 

a Māori consultancy providing 

cultural supervision and training 

to individuals and groups in 

education, social services and 

mental health. Her organisation 

is contracted to deliver Tikanga 

Māori programmes for men and 

women across Canterbury prisons 

and community corrections. 

Her programmes are always 

over-subscribed, and several 

women have participated multiple 

times because of the value 

they place on them. 

Tankersley provides a safe 

place for women who have 

experienced significant trauma 

and loss, and who are frequently 

disconnected from their culture, 

helping them to connect with 

who they are and change their 

lives to benefit them and their 

children. She has developed 

relationships transcending usual 

staff-prisoner boundaries and 

has continued to provide 

encouragement and support 

after release. 

Tankersley is member of a 

multi-agency group established 

to deliver on the Department 

of Corrections Mana Wahine 

pathway.

Dyson also took part in 

driving the legislation that 

recognised sign language as an

Disability chief, principal and refugee 

advocate among those recognised 

• From page 5 

•David Matthews, 

Cashmere, Companion of 

the Queen’s Service Order 

Matthews has been recognised 

for services to people with 

disabilities. 

He spent 10 years in senior 

management roles with Special 

Education Services and the past 

21 years with CCS Disability 

Action. Matthews has been chief 

executive of CCS since 2011, 

maintaining the organisation’s 

positive reputation across the 

disability sector and increasing 

the fiscal position of CCS without 

reducing staff or services. 

Under his leadership, many 

innovative initiatives have taken 

place, including in Northland the 

‘Karanga Maha – Many Voices’ 

marae-based support programme 

for Māori disabled people, a 

work programme model now 

taken up by other CCS branches 

nationally. 

He oversaw the development of 

intensive wrap-around services for 

disabled children with complex 

needs across New Zealand. As 

CCS regional manager for South 

Island, he focused on the use of 

new technologies, access and 

advocacy. 

Matthews has been a past board 

member with the New Zealand 

Disability Support Network 

and involved with many other 

influential working groups, 

including the 2016 New Zealand 

Disability Strategy Revision 

reference group, the Disability 

Systems Transformation and

AUTOMOTIVE PROFESSIONALS 

Customers pleased with honest, 

reliable vehicle servicing 

Having your vehicle regularly serviced is 

key to getting the best out of it in terms of 

fuel efficiency and reduced wear and tear 

on expensive parts. 

Kevin, who owns and operates Parker 

Automotive in Birmingham Drive, 

provides full vehicle servicing to keep your 

vehicle running smoothly, as well as WOFs, 

batteries and tyres. 

He also carries out all mechanical repairs, 

including cam belt replacement, suspension 

work, clutch and gearbox repairs, only 

repairing what’s necessary, and without 

charging the earth. 

He has owned the business since 2007, 

and over that time has established a loyal 

customer base – people that rely on him 

to give them sound advice and provide 

professional care and servicing for their 

vehicles. 

Customers come from across the city, 

Spreydon, Hillmorton, Riccarton, Halswell 

and Middleton areas, and the business has 

received many positive Google reviews 

from customers. Below are some examples: 

I have been going to Parker Automotive 

for the last eight years and I cannot fault the 

service. The mechanical work has been top 

notch! If you want top service and value for 

money I recommend Parker Automotive. –

basic servicing and warrants through to 

major work like clutches, replacement 

coilovers and bushings. Kevin is a very 

honest guy who gets the job done in a very 

timely manor and he has outstanding 

communication. The overall service I’ve 

received is excellent. – Lachlan Poole 

I know it’s not always about price but 

sometimes, when it comes to vehicle repairs, 

you just want a perceived good deal and work 

carried out by someone who seems to care. 

Kevin came recommended by a friend, and 

what a great recommendation. His work was 

clean, efficient, fast and came in under what 

I thought it was going to cost. So we took my 

partner’s car there two days later and that 

too was completed faster than we expected 

and at an almost unbelievable cost. 

Give Parker Automotive a shot next 

time you need something done. Kevin 

is a nice fella too, win win. – Mark 

Lewis 

Earlier this year, Parker Automotive 

moved from premises on the Lincoln 

and Torrens roads corner to a new site 

at 23B Birmingham Drive, Middleton. 

Opening hours are Monday to 

Friday 7.30am-4pm, Saturday 8am-

to help with all your vehicle servicing 

needs.
