Educational Child Care Centre opening

25/5/2015

 
Kia ora koutou katoa.
 
Staff and families of the Educational Child Care Centre, and a special acknowledgement of Veronica Chatwin who was described in my notes as the old principal who started the process – although I am sure they meant to say former principal.
 
May I also acknowledge my friend Abby Savage as I expect I wouldn't have been here today – after two weeks of hearings on the city's Long Term Plan – if it were not for her. We go back a long way.

Zonta speech 'Courage, Conviction and Commitment'

3/5/2015

 
Governor Janette Irvine, District 16 Board members, Zontians.
 
Thank you for inviting me to speak today.
 
Last night I addressed the NZ Conference of BPW, which is holding its annual conference here in Christchurch.
 
Their Conference theme is Building Leadership from a Firm Foundation. I said there was an irony in that theme, as in Christchurch as our leaders had emerged from shaky ground.

Building leadership from a firm foundation

2/5/2015

 
I am pleased to welcome BPW NZ to Christchurch.
 
I am sorry I could not be here for the first part of your evening as I was involved in supporting what was a partnership between the Christchurch Nepalese community, the Student Volunteer Army and we as a city to hold a candlelight vigil in solidarity with the people of Nepal and surrounding areas affected by the earthquake.
 
In Christchurch we understand what it is like to wake up to a large earthquake and also to experience an even stronger shake less than 6 months later, when many had already expected that the worst was over. We know the pain of losing loved ones and friends, our homes and communities.
