From 5-7 September, the Kaikōura Māori Wardens group hosted police training at Takahanga Marae.

Ōtautahi mahi coordinator, Jacqui Te Wani and warranted warden, Lennie Smith and Garry Te Wani (Jnr), brought eight of their trainees up from Christchurch for the training session.

The weather was perfect, the yummy kai was in abundance, and the views from the marae were breath-taking. The kāinga made us feel like we belonged there.

Ngā Wātene Māori katoa.
