Have Your Say: Active Life Survey for Kaumātua Now Open

Christchurch Rec and Sport are inviting feedback from kaumātua (older adults) through the Active Life Survey 2025. The survey is a chance for older residents to share their thoughts on how Christchurch City Council can better support their wellbeing and active lifestyles – now and into the future.

Insights from the survey will help shape programmes and services at local recreation centres, including the much-anticipated Parakiore Recreation and Sport Centre, opening in late 2025.
