Swim Tangaroa - Kiwa Pools

Today is Race Relations Day.

The theme for Race Relations Day 2026 is Whakarongo kia mārama – Listen to understand.

Today, we join communities across Aotearoa and invite our local community to share stories with one another, committing to listening to diverse experiences and understanding backgrounds that may be different from our own.

Today we honour Te Rā o Waitangi — Aotearoa New Zealand’s national day — marking the anniversary of the signing of Te Tiriti o Waitangi on 6 February 1840, a milestone in our nation’s history.
