The Aro Valley Community Council General Meeting is on Sunday 8th of September, 2019 from 3:30-5:30pm at the Aro Valley Community Centre.
Aro Valley is well known for its history of radical political and environmental views.
Communities have the opportunity to contribute to addressing global heating in many ways, in the space between individuals’ choices and government policies.
A program of resilience building is necessary to prepare for the increasing probability of extreme weather events and ecological breakdown.
“A declaration confirms our ambition to place a climate change lens on everything we do” Justin Lester, Wellington Mayor.
