Welcome to the event Community Adaptation in Canterbury (NZ): What, Why, How? happening at Te Waka Aroha St Faiths (The Stone Church) on July 31, 2025 at 7:30 PM (Pacific/Auckland).

We have speakers from communities and councils sharing experiences, responses and approaches currently ongoing in Canterbury. This goes from big-picture strategy through to nuts-and-bolts 'this is what we did' or 'this is how it felt' type stuff.

Evening comprises of short 15 minute presentations, hot chocolate and then a Q&A session.

It's going to be an engaging evening filled with insights, ideas, and opportunities.
