Chloe Cull and whānau.
Wairewa Rūnanga Ara Wairewa e! We’ve had a busy start to the year at Wairewa Marae and for our Rūnanga, with more to come and hopefully in a sustainable way.
whānau to register with Wairewa, so we can reach more of our own through pānui, FB and kanohi kitea. Looking ahead from Kahuru to Takurua and Matariki, we have the māra kai still going although we’ll be resting some of the soil; we’ve got Irakehu Pae ki Tua, a partnership with Whai Rawa brewing for our members and plans to expand our tīma so we can have more support on the ground to pull off our projects.
We had the official signing of our agreement with Orion Group to recloak hundreds of hectares of our pāmu in native forest; we’ve had heaps of rōpū come through for noho from the likes of TRONT, the University of Canterbury, Fulton Hogan. We’ve had a few tangihanga to acknowledge, not just from our own whenua but all over the takiwā.
Thank you for allowing me, the executive team and the rest of us in the tari to serve.
Education grants have been ticking over – if you haven’t accessed this yet, please do contact the tari for a link to our online form! And also, please encourage your
