Waitaki District Council is excited to be hosting the Friendly Bay Family Fun Day on Saturday 7 March.
This is a free, old-fashioned family fun day designed to bring our community together in a safe, inclusive and positive environment. The day will focus on:
Community connection
Wellbeing and outdoor play
Sustainability and pride of place
Creating fun memories for tamariki and their whānau
It aligns strongly with our shared values around community, participation and caring for our environment – very much in the spirit of The Waitaki Way.
