''What a collaborative community this is,'' says community team leader Tessa Sturley, in reflecting on her team's annual report. The community team has been facilitating an ''age-friendly plan'', which has been adopted by the council's community and recreation committee and will be launched soon. The neighbourhood parks barbecues initiative last summer was a success and now the community team is partnering with Neighbourhood Support North Canterbury and other local groups to run similar events. The community team worked with Violence Free North Canterbury to deliver 14 family violence education talks across North Canterbury - three times the number delivered the previous year.
