Dear Motueka Community
We are still enjoying a rare and hard for for freedom across Aotearoa.
Summer holidays have brought a number of fellow Kiwi visitors to our beautiful region and as we aren't likely to stay at home while the weather is good and the days are long, many of us are out and about too.
Something that has slipped to the back of our minds is the ever potential risk of covid19 getting into our community.
With one of the new variants currently making...

It is that time of year again where the roads become clogged with half of Canterbury coming to visit our amazing little piece of paradise.
As well as allowing extra time to go the super long way around High St it is important for us all not to become complacent about the risk Covid 19 poses to our community.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Breast cancer is New Zealand’s third most common cancer and accounts for more than 600 deaths every year.
If breast cancer is caught early and small the likelihood of survival is much higher.
Mammograms can show changes inside the breast before they can be felt.
Aotearoa has a national screening programme for women aged 45-69.
Looking and feeling for changes in your breasts is just as important as engaging with the screening programme.
Dear Motueka Community
As part of the nationwide surveillance initiative to ensure any COVID-19 in the community is caught early, some of our amazing nursing team members will be down at Kaiteriteri tomorrow morning offering swabbing.
New Zealand has been doing such an amazing job keeping the numbers low, and a huge part of that has been stepping up and being tested. So we encourage you, if you're enjoying this beautiful region down at Kaiteriteri with your whanau tomorrow morning, spare a few moments and have a test done.
