Ngā mihi o te Tau Hou and my warmest greetings to you all.
Our most heartfelt thoughts go out to everyone affected by that Friday's tragedy.
It's been heartwarming to see our community rally together with your outpouring of love, support and empathy during these extremely difficult times.
Hate and discrimination have no place in our community, particularly within our sporting community and activities.
Kia kaha and much aroha from the Ngā Puna Wai project team.
Nga mihi,
David Bailey
Christchurch City Council Manager, Recreation and Sport Services
