Welcome to the Rotary Club of Bishopdale Burnside

Being a Rotarian is a challenging, stimulating and rewarding experience.

Some of you may have read this morning's issue of “The Press” where on page 10 it featured an article titled “Rare bird breed back from Brink”. The article was on NZ’s rarest forest bird “kakariki”, an orange-fronted parakeet, having had the most successful breeding season in more than a decade.

And what does this have to do with Rotary you might be wondering.

The Department of Conversation (DOC), New Zealand National Parks & Conservation Foundation (NPCF) and Christchurch Helicopters teamed up several years ago to help save the “kakariki”.

In October 2018, the Rotary Club of Bishopdale awarded Christchurch Helicopters Ltd its Business Excellence Award 2018 to recognise a business that has made a significant contribution to the community, employment creation and who sets high standards of service.

Its great to see the successful impact that Christchurch Helicopters and its partners has had in the conservation area in particular helping the Orange-fronted parakeet back from extinction.

It's certainly been an unusual few days as we continue our nationwide lockdown.

Prior to entering the lock down our Youth Director Keith Walker assisted by Janet was able to deliver items to the Goodnight, Sleep Tight Charitable Trust for distribution to children in the greater Christchurch area so that they can go to bed warm.

Our Club has been involved with GNST since it formed in 2017 and we are happy to continue our association.
