PEACE POLES OCEANIA
The first two official Peace Poles were installed in Christchurch at the Bridgestone Reserve at the Papanui Bush in Christchurch on 22nd March 2025.
PDG Liz Courtney is leading the charge to have Rotary Peace Poles across New Zealand and the Pacific Islands to demonstrate that Rotary is invested in PEACE.
It’s the perfect way for clubs to engage with their local community and create a partnership with Bunnings or Mitre 10 or hardware suppliers in their area. I was supplied the timber, metal stand and concrete by our local Papanui Mitre 10 Mega store who were delighted to sponsor this project. We invited them to attend the ceremony and presented them with a certificate of appreciation which is displayed in their store.
