The Hororata Community Trust (HCT) is excited to announce that Sam Richards has been appointed as a Trustee. Sam grew up in Windwhistle, where his family has been for six generations, he now lives in the area with his wife and four daughters. Sam is a structural and civil design engineer with over twenty years of experience. He is the Principal of Richards Consulting Engineers, based in Canterbury and Auckland. Sam brings his experience in civil and structural projects throughout New Zealand and Queensland to the Hororata Community Trust, as well as a deep connection to the communities in our area. Sadly, long-term HCT supporter, community champion and Trustee Dee Innes has retired. Dee had been a Trustee since 2016 and has been invaluable in this role, connecting the wider community to the Trust activities, as well as sourcing funding through various organisations. Dee will remain part of the Hororata Highland Games committee, where her guidance and vast experience is very much appreciated.

The Government needs to stop dithering and take action to get more nurses into the country right now - the residents of Darfield and Ellesmere deserve some certainty.
The response hasn’t exactly been positive. Just eighteen offshore migrant nurses have applied for the new Accredited Employer Work Visa in six weeks as of the 15th August - despite the country being over 4,000 nurses short across the board.
As if issues in the aged care sector weren’t bad enough, we also now know ED is just as precarious. Data for the month of May 2022 shows that over 4,000 New Zealanders across the country have left the ED without being seen or treated. But these numbers have been in the thousands every month, as far back as June 2021.
By far, the bigger impact has come from the Government’s resolute refusal to go all out to attract migrant health workers, while the country works to rebuild its domestic workforce. Afterall, they knew this crisis was coming all along.
It should not have come to this. National has been calling for months to end the vaccine mandates for health workers, but even if the Government would deign to listen, the numbers here in Canterbury are not huge and wouldn’t have made an enormous difference.
It is clear to everybody that we have a health workforce crisis that can only be solved by attracting more overseas nurses

As a seveteen year old, I joined the RNZAF to learn a trade and to serve my country. After twenty years of service, I resigned from the RNZAF and have been involved in the communities I've resided in during my service and ever since, despite a varying work commitment. Living in Kirwee for over twenty years, I have served the local community in many roles, including Township, Reserve and Hall Committees, the Community Response Team and Community Patrol, as well as supporting other community activities throughout the Malvern Ward, when possible. It is my commitment to our wider community in the Malvern Ward that makes me want to continue to grow those improvements in our local environment that will mark our position in the gateway to the West Coast, through the Southern Alps, as a great place to be, to visit and to stay.
