Wellington to te reo Maori town
Wellington City Council wants to hear from the public on how it can achieve the goal of making the capital a te reo Maori city.
Deputy Mayor Jill Day put out a draft for public consultation today about incorporating more te reo into everyday life.
Submissions will help create an action plan to inform not only the way the Council approaches signage but also other public forms of communication, such as speeches, street art, murals, performing arts and much more.
To showcase how the policy can be enacted, a family activity is planned for Waitangi Day to highlight a waterfront lagoon named Whairepo after the eagle rays that inhabit it and are considered guardians of the area.
