Waitangi Day 2011: Waitangi ~ Whānau ~ Whānui

The goal of the Waitangi Day commemorations is to facilitate community events that encouraged wide participation and empower our citizens to positively reflect and commemorate the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi. For this year a number of events took to celebration Waitangi Day.

These events were held around New Plymouth, with activities in Puke Ariki.

All events are delivered in an environment that fosters respect for:

  • Tangata Whenua: acknowledging the special place they hold as ‘first nations’ people.
  • Celebrate and encourage a shared understanding and appreciation of community diversity by engaging, listening to and learning from each other.
  • Elevate whanau and the special role family has to contribute to the future of our community.
  • Whanau and the opportunity to spend quality family time together.
  • Community building and networking.
