School Strikes 4 Climate were held in a number of big cities for the first time since September 2019.
But in Christchurch, things were heated from the off.
There was anger and frustration towards the Christchurch Mayor, Lianne Dalziel.
Protesters chanted "Where's our Mayor?" before she arrived.
Tensions didn't much improve by the time she did step out.
"It's the people who jump into the cars on their own who are really damaging our environment, and not giving us a chance to succeed," she said to the crowd.
But she was then cut off as the group started chanting over her: "What do we want? Climate justice! When do we want it? Now!"

From Lincolnshire to Waikanae: Barrie Truman details his career in book

Barrie Truman with his book The Way We Were.
It's been a big month for Barrie Truman.
He's celebrated a milestone 85th birthday, released his book The Way We Were tracing his life and his 55 years of football coaching, and just last week was made a life member of Capital Football in Wellington.
But this is just the tip of the iceberg for a career in football that has spanned 55 years from club to national level for the Waikanae retiree.
Hailing from Grantham, a little town in Lincolnshire, England, Barrie was born into a working class family where playing football on the streets was just a normal part of his childhood.

Adult men to play netball against teenage girls on Kāpiti Coast


Paraparaumu College’s top team plays in Kapiti Netball’s premier league.
The prospect of adult men playing against teenage girls in competitive netball on the Kāpiti Coast is causing ructions.
Kāpiti Netball will allow an all men’s team to play in this season’s top premier grade, which features female teams from local clubs and secondary schools.
A new age limit will be put in place for teenage boys to play in the secondary school competition, with no age restrictions for the premier team, Kāpiti Netball president Maria Bater said.

Kāpiti Netball president Maria Bater said the men’s team will play in an “invitational” capacity.

The
Web Genius Kāpiti Run for Youth is open for registration
and getting ready to take place on Sunday 21 March
2021.
Kāpiti Run for Youth is open for registration
and we can’t wait to get back out on the beach as a big
group after taking the event virtual after going into
lockdown in March 2020. We worked very hard to make the
virtual event a success and were amazed at the number of
local people that got out in their bubbles and completed the
event on their own terms, said Richard Calkin, Founder of
Web Genius.
