Our Deputy Mayor, Hana Halalele, on Breakfast TV this morning talking about our awesome Pasifika community here in Ōamaru. Did you know there are 14 Pasifika churches here? Or that the Oamaru Pacific Island Community Group - OPICG Inc was started here (with Hana's Mum) in the 1980s. Check out the interview here (starts 2:47:30). Very cool!

PS - We are still a privately owned business and not part of Council. That doesn't mean we can't be proud of our district and our Deputy Mayor! Thanks Hana Halalele. Whoop!
