Answer

In 2026, I received two invitations from Christchurch City Council and/or the Mayor of Christchurch. The first was on 12 March 2026, when I was copied into letter regarding a request for a meeting with Hon Nicola Willis and Hon Paul Goldsmith. The second was on 13 July 2026, when all Canterbury MPs and Canterbury candidates were invited to attend a breakfast hosted by the Council. Due to prior diary commitments, I was unable to attend.
