We’re putting the ‘We’ in Wellington
Wellington.NZ, in collaboration with Wellington City Council, has launched We in Wellington today – celebrating
community spirit and aimed at bringing Wellingtonians together.
There’s a new twist on Absolutely Positively Wellington as a symbol for our community during this time – see attached
creative.
WCC and Wellington.NZ will be promoting the creative for the sharing of stories, experiences and examples of resilience,
and encourage residents to add it as a frame or picture to their social media profiles.
WellingtonNZ.com will also be sharing Wellington experiences, stories, music, family fun and much more virtually for
people to enjoy from the comfort of their own couch.The Wellington Night Shelter gets a helping hand from Mitre 10 Mega

Feedback from the Contact Centre is not many calls coming in about weather related incidents. Just a few minor slips and
surface flooding calls but these are not high risk. Major incidents will be logged and contractors despatched as per
usual process.
