A well deserved award and recognition for Poppy”, who has been a dedicated volunteer with Kaiapoi Rugby Football Club for many years.
Thank you for all your hard work and Congratulations presented by Volunteering Canterbury

The next recipient of our 🌟Volunteer Recognition Awards🌟 for 2025 is Brian "Poppy" Temple, from Kaiapoi Rugby Football Club:

"A true legend within North Canterbury rugby circles, Brian Temple, fondly known as ‘Poppy’ has been a constant presence at the Kaiapoi Rugby Football Club since the mid-1990s when he contributed to the governance team, then moved to managing and coaching, before moving into the groundsperson role in 2022. The quality of the grounds is often commented on by those who use them, and they are a key part of the community hosting events such as Halloween, Christmas parades, and school cross countries and sports days. The Kaiapoi Rugby Football Club is indebted to his service and commitment."

Congratulations Poppy!

Please don’t Drink and Drive - stay safe in the road.
Shared from Canterbury Police

Canterbury Police conducted a targeted operation across Rangiora and Kaiapoi last weekend, aimed at reducing harm and improving road safety.

More than 800 breath screening tests were carried out, resulting in nine drivers being processed for driving over the legal alcohol limit.

Of particular concern, three of these drivers had come directly from a local bar. Police are currently looking into this matter further.

“This behaviour is disappointing. Driving under the influence of alcohol puts everyone at risk – not just the driver, but passengers, other road users and pedestrians,” says Senior Sergeant Stephen McDaniel.

Police remind the public that you can be stopped anywhere, at any time. Alcohol checkpoints are a regular part of our prevention strategy, and impaired drivers will be held accountable.

Canterbury Police urge all drivers to:

Plan ahead if you’re drinking — arrange a sober driver, taxi, or rideshare.

Look after your mates — don’t let friends drive if they’ve been drinking.

Understand your limits — even small amounts of alcohol can impair your ability to drive safely.

Be responsible — your decisions behind the wheel can save lives.

Let’s work together to keep our roads safe.
