Last Saturday evening, the Ormiston Entwine meet for the final time this year. This informal community networking group is funded by the Howick Local Board to help bring the newer communities of Flat Bush and Ormiston together.

Awesome day as we celebrated the 70th Howick Santa Parade this afternoon.

Last month, the Howick Local Board hosted our second community forum for the term. Our first was for organisations that support our communities in need, this one was for our diverse ethnic and cultural communities.

The tradition marks the beginning of the festive season in Howick, proudly funded by the Howick Local Board.

We're thrilled to report that the Howick Youth Facility is moving ahead!

Over the weekend, the Fo Guang Shan Buddhist Temple New Zealand celebrated their Cherry Blossom Festival.
