Celebrating Cultural Diversity in New Zealand
Race Relations Day: 21 March 2015 Kia Ora, Talofa, Malo e Lelei, Kiaorana, Bonjour, Hola, Bula Vinaka, Konichiwa, Namasté, Hello!
BEST WISHES CATHERINE This month we said farewell to our colleague Catherine Helm who is jet setting overseas.
Race Relations Day is an opportunity for communities to increase their awareness about cultural diversity in New Zealand. Given the cultural and ethnic diversity of our South Auckland communities, we are proud supporters of race relations in New Zealand This year, we supported Race Relations Day 2015 by producing a multi-language video resource based on the theme “big change starts small”.
Catherine joined our team in 2012 and dealt mainly with our consumer and tenancy matters.
To watch our Race Relations video, please see page 10 of our Legal Lowdown.
We wish you all the best in your future endeavors., Catherine.
The Human Rights Commission has also produced some informative Race Relations Day posters that can be accessed via their website: www.hrc.co.nz/news/race-relations-day-2015-big-change-starts-small/
