support and partnerships
John Filsell says they’ve tried to
develop a programme that caters
for every kind of walker.
“We wanted to offer walks that
take people to different parts
of Waitaha/Canterbury; places
where people might not have
been before or haven’t visited in
a while and that showcase the
incredible diversity of landscapes

we’re lucky enough to have in
this part of the world.
“Along with walking activities
like disc golf – there’s a new
course just opened at Warren
Park – and orienteering, we’ve
also developed a selection of selfguided
walks.
Children can spot the fairy
doors at Christchurch Adventure
Park.
“There’s an art walk at Pegasus
Wetland and beach for instance
which takes you around Te
Kohanga Wetlands and onto the
beach where you’re invited to
create a unique piece of beach art
– bring a garden rake or something
to help you get creative.
“Families might enjoy
looking for the fairy doors at
the Christchurch Adventure
Park Village, or exploring the
Richmond Red Zone where
there will be a special Anzac

knitted poppies from April 20-

We were so impressed with Cameron and his team, we knew we were in
great hands with their professionalism and amazing organisational skills.
Everything ran so smoothly and efficiently. Cameron certainly knows what
was happening with the market at the time we had our house listed and
this was a huge part of us selling our home with him and our successful sale.
A huge thank you to Cameron and his amazing team Sam and Lisa, I would
certainly recommend them to everyone thinking of selling their home.
