Waitangi Day commemorations in Council Chambers this year
Waitangi Day 2018 commemorations will take place
on Tuesday 6 February from 1pm-3pm at the Kāpiti Coast
District Council chambers in Paraparaumu.
The theme
this year is Te Tiriti: ‘Me huri whakamuri, ka titiro
whakamua’, a multimedia exhibition showcasing the
relationship and significance of the Treaty of Waitangi to
the Kāpiti Coast.
Te Whakaminenga o Kāpiti agreed to
Mayor K Gurunathan’s request for this year’s
commemoration to be hosted by Council.
“We are
honoured to host Waitangi Day at Council this year, and be
able to commemorate the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi in
such a meaningful and reflective way,” Mayor Gurunathan
says.
“I am proud that this year’s event strives
to build community understanding of the significance of the
Treaty of Waitangi and tell the history of Te Tirito o
Waitangi in our rohe. The partnership that we share with
tāngata whenua lays the foundation to furthering education
and understanding for future generations of Kāpiti
residents.”
The exhibition will show throughout the
District at various service centres until June.
