This morning at Government House Wellington, Dame Cindy hosted a reception for Community Networks Wellington and representatives of their member organisations from across the region's community and social sector. The reception offered an opportunity for CNW, and for the Governor-General, to thank all those present for their work to support the most vulnerable and marginalised members of our communities.
As Her Excellency remarked in her speech, quoting the words of the whakataukī: ‘Waiho i te toipoto, kaua i te toiroa. Let us keep close together, not far apart.’
