Greetings from your Community Board

Message from the Chair

Kia ora koutou, I hope you all are keeping well at home as we enter the second week of lockdown. 

Thanks for heeding the call to Stay Home, Save Lives.  And if you're going out for fresh air, stay local, in your neighbourhood.

At times like this, it's important to stay connected. Take care of yourselves and your families and stay in touch with your friends, whānau and neighbours over the phone. Please be patient and kind. We all need to look after each other.

Chair of the Papanui-Innes Community Board

Board Chair, Emma Norrish
