Sport Canterbury - Mid Canterbury

Sport Canterbury - Mid Canterbury In 1989, Sport Canterbury was established as the Regional Sports Trust for the Waitaha Te Tai Poutini regions. We continue to grow our hapori.

Sport Canterbury, established in 1989 as the Regional Sports Trust for Waitaha Canterbury/Te Tai Poutini West Coast, is dedicated to fostering community and connection through play, active recreation and sport. The role of sport is to provide people of all ages with a sense of community and connection. For that reason, for over 30 years we have been committed to empowering coaches, clubs and sports. We know the value that sport, play, physical activity and recreation have in building better communities - helping people feel good about themselves. Sport Canterbury is also the home of Healthy Families Ōtautahi, Healthy Active Learning, Community Strength and Balance and Workplace First Aid, collaborating with partners in health and education to improve outcomes for the wellbeing of our whānau.

This week we came together to celebrate Te Wiki o te Reo Māori through waiata, karakia, kōrero, tākaro and connection.

From sharing phrases and personal commitments to te reo Māori, to giving whutuporo pā and taonga tākaro a go alongside our partners, the week was full of learning, laughter and whanaungatanga. We also joined the wider community in celebrating te reo Māori across Ōtautahi through the Hikoi mō te Reo Māori.

As we finish with today's theme, Te Reo Tuku Iho, we're reminded that the future of te reo Māori is shaped by what we do beyond this week. For us, that whakaaro is reflected in Tūhono, our pounamu mauri stone, which sits within Whare Hākinakina and symbolises the connections across our people, places and communities. Tūhono reminds us that this journey is ongoing, and that each of us has a responsibility for what we contribute and what we leave for those who follow.

Ngā mihi nui to everyone who got involved, embraced the challenge and gave it a go.

Patua te taniwha o whakamā. Karawhiua! 💙💚💛🖤

🏅 Keep it Positive was front and centre during Winter Tournament Week, with tamariki across Mid Canterbury stepping onto courts, fields and pitches to represent their schools, support their teammates and enjoy being active together.

A huge thank you to our incredible kaiako and school staff who helped bring the Keep it Positive kaupapa to life throughout the week. Through your encouragement, leadership and support, students were able to enjoy sport in positive, respectful and inclusive environments.

We loved seeing students put the Keep it Positive messages into action, showing respect, teamwork and encouragement both on and off the field!
