Since the election we’ve had a Powhiri at the Town Hall, an Expo where we were able to meet some of the Auckland Council officers – particularly people from the CCOs.

We had the inauguration on Waiheke yesterday so it all feels a bit more official.

Making the Declaration

 

What a fabulous day.  Thanks to everyone who came, and also those who were there in spirit.    What a proud and humbling moment.

Piritahi Marae lead the waiata Ngaa Iwi E

Especially wonderful was seeing so many of the community there and also to have the acknowledgement of  Piritahi Marae and to have Whaea Huhana karanga us into the Hall.
