​And Amanda from Kāinga Ora - Homes and Communities
, you were awesome!
​I also would like to thank the staff of the Phillipstown Community Centre Charitable Trust
, Natalie and Sandy, always available, enthusiastic and supportive! You are the best staff I could desire!
And a thank you! to Thriving Madly and Ōtautahi Creative Spaces for your support !
Great appreciation to Lianne Dalziel Christchurch Mayor for coming and supporting our whanau day - we really appreciate your support!
Last but not least at all, a huge huge acknowledgment goes to Yani Johanson, ChCh Councillor for Linwood Ward, always present and supportive of the Phillipstown community, who spent the whole day with us, talking and listening to our people and drawing the prizes!

The walks are an opportunity to learn and share stories and connect with neighbours, community organisations and businesses in the area.
The walks aim to celebrate the history of one of the oldest neighbourhoods of the city as well as the stories of the people who have lived in Philipstown to create and amplify a sense of joy, meaning and belonging.
Our walks will finish with a free coffee and a great korero.
 
The walks and the conversation they stimulate will be documented by the Phillipstown Community Centre Charitable Trust to gain a better understanding of the community through neighbourhood information, mapping and story-telling - to collect people's insights and narratives about the Phillipstown area, which may be used for future projects.
 
These events are perfect for the young, the old, those who have lived here for years, and our newest neighbours as well.
 
We will hold the walk during drizzle - but don't want us to be miserable. We will review the weather at 9am on the morning and will contact participants via email and/or text if the walks are postponed.
 
Free to participate but please book your ticket emailing viviana@phillipstown.org.nz

Play Streets is designed to encourage kids to be active and creative while boosting social connections between neighbours, and recognising the importance of play to children’s lives and community wellbeing.

The project is being led by Sport Canterbury’s Healthy Families Ōtautahi Christchurch team, and local transport consultancy ViaStrada with support from the Council.
