Met Service have issued an alert for heavy rain in Canterbury region later this week - this could be a significant rain event and is one to keep an eye on.

This February individuals and workplaces across New Zealand will compete to see who can get the most people riding a bike. This is a fun and free challenge open to everyone! It doesn’t matter if you ride every day or haven’t been on a bike in years, you can ride anywhere anytime in February to take part.

We are looking for a caring and empathetic person with a great sense of humour, to join our amazing team of Community Coordinators.

Our coordinators are our front line superstars - who work in our busy reception providing general reception duties, managing bookings for the community vehicle and providing one-on-one support and advice for our clients.

The team at Waimate2gether have spent the last 12 months transforming the Whitehorse monument and surrounds as one of their anchor Community Led Development projects. Here we are sharing some photos from the last few weeks to show some of what they have been doing.

A huge thank you from the team who organised our Christmas Events

Our fabulous courthouse at the Waimate Museum & Archives has been lit up for Christmas - check it out!

John & Glenda Begg kindly created a petting zoo and opened up their nativity scene to the public on Saturday afternoon - what a fun free family event.

Faced with the cancellation of Christmas in the Square due to covid restrictions - the organisers came up with a fun and innovative way to spread Christmas cheer throughout Waimate.
