Treaty Principles Bill Submission Process Hui

We have an important opportunity to help shape a more equitable future. Your voice, your whakaaro, and your lived experiences are vital to the conversation around the Treaty Principles Bill submission process. Submissions close on Tuesday, 7th January 2025, at 11:59pm, so now is the time to take action together.

Veronica Tawhai [1]emphasises that “Political consciousness is critical to health.” Restoring our connection to Te Tiriti o Waitangi and who we are is a key aspect of flourishing for our communities.

To support everyone who wishes to contribute, The Capable Sector Project is creating space for connection and kōrero. Join us at the Kāpiti Impact Hub on 12th December, from 12:30pm to 2:00pm, where we’ll come together in a safe, welcoming environment. This hui is for individuals, organisations, and groups to share whakaaro, explore ideas, and learn how to create meaningful and impactful submissions.
