Wheke Marae kicked into gear with a number of maintenance jobs including new paintwork of the marae ātea ready to face the year. Members of our hapū welcomed the HMS Protector into Lyttelton Port for the first time and we worked at maintaining a number of healthy relationships in our hapū including the blessing of both the Cashin Quay 2 Wharf and the Lyttelton Recreational Centre.
