🌿 Community Update

This last week in our beautiful corner of Aotearoa has been simply heartbreaking and tragic. We are deeply saddened by the sheer impact of Thursday’s landslides across our community. With yesterday’s confirmed loss of life at Mauao, many of us will be feeling at a complete loss.

Our thoughts and aroha are with the whānau, families, and loved ones who are facing unimaginable grief. We also want to acknowledge the extraordinary efforts of emergency workers, first responders, surf lifesaving teams, iwi, council staff, and others who stepped forward in incredibly difficult circumstances.

For those feeling the significant weight of this week, please know you are not alone. Connecting with others and seeking support can make a real difference. Tauranga City Council will have He Maimai Aroha - a Community Care Centre, open from tomorrow in Mount Maunganui for those who wish to pay their respects. More information here: https://www.tauranga.govt.nz/he-maimai-aroha-community-care-centre.

With aroha and care,
Triathlon Tauranga Events Team
