Word from the Mayor I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my first year as Mayor. Having the opportunity to get out and about and meet so many of you has been fantastic. Our city is in great shape. The wheels of change have been turning and we have made much progress in 2014. In this issue of Proudly Napier we tell you about a new brand campaign we’ve been working on. Napier Now is about encouraging us all to take another look at our wonderful city. We’ve come a long way. At times the journey has been difficult. Our past has shaped us into a unique city with an Art Deco heart

and we wanted to do something that celebrates what we have achieved. We’ve got great people and thriving businesses in our midst and we thought that was worth acknowledging. We might be considered a ‘small’ city, but we punch above our weight and we think Napier Now embodies that spirit. As part of the campaign, you will find a fun, interactive online advent calendar offering daily surprise deals with local businesses. Find out more over the page. I love this time of year. I can’t wait to get the BBQ cranking so my wife Shirley and I can enjoy having friends over to make the most of the balmy Hawke’s Bay summer evenings. I know many of you will be doing the same. I wish you all a wonderful festive season. Enjoy this special time with family and friends. See you in 2015.
