A community day to discuss neighbourhood safety with plenty for the kids will be held in Pāpāmoa next month.
Western Bay of Plenty Neighbourhood Support is holding a Sirens and Services day out on Sunday, November 19 at the Pāpāmoa Sports Centre at Gordon Spratt Reserve, Pāpāmoa, from 10am to 2pm, a statement from the organisation said.
Representatives from the fire service, emergency management, police, St John ambulance, fisheries, Coastguard, community patrol and other services will be on hand to show what they do, let kids have a go with equipment and see demonstrations.
Rotary and helping organisations like Here2helpU will also take part.
Children can have their “passport” stamped and do an activity at each of the displays to win a prize, and there’ll be a sausage sizzle to keep everyone fed.
