On Friday evening we celebrated the festival of light with the South East Auckland Senior Citizens' Association

“In our representative democracy it’s vital that the public have trust in those making the decisions on their behalf. Transparency is a crucial part of this and that’s why we’re opening our workshops to the public from the start of next year."

It was wonderful to spend time at the Polish Heritage Trust Museum as they celebrated 20 years

Another early start, but well worth it to attend the Howick Youth Council Principals Breakfast for 2024, where the new council introduced their teams and plan for the year to local school principals.

On 5 March I had the privilege of officiating the citizenship ceremony for over 300 new New Zealanders.

Fantastic to see the Lantern Festival return to Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland! Even better than it's now in our backyard at the Manukau Sports Bowl, making it even easier to enjoy.

Last Saturday evening, the Ormiston Entwine meet for the final time this year. This informal community networking group is funded by the Howick Local Board to help bring the newer communities of Flat Bush and Ormiston together.

Awesome day as we celebrated the 70th Howick Santa Parade this afternoon.

Last month, the Howick Local Board hosted our second community forum for the term. Our first was for organisations that support our communities in need, this one was for our diverse ethnic and cultural communities.
