Today, we shine a spotlight on a remarkable milestone: 25 years of Spac Pac at the Canterbury Polyfest!

For the first time, this iconic festival expands to two full days at Hagley Park, bringing together 25 Canterbury schools to light up the stage with song, dance, and Pacific energy. It’s a celebration of our tamaiti, our culture, and our unbreakable community spirit.

Joining me to unpack this journey and share what’s coming this March is Riki Welsh, Chairperson of the Spac Pac Canterbury Charitable Trust. Kia ora Riki, and congratulations on 25 incredible years!
