Tēnā koutou katoa,
Nau mai, haere mai ki te Pānui o Poutama – Welcome to the Poutama newsletter.
Summer vibes of Raumati continue across the motu.
We hope you had a chance to listen to some of the oral submissions on the proposed Treaty Principles Bill. We acknowledge the significant contributions made by tāngata whenua and tāngata Tiriti against this bill.
We also hope you were able to celebrate Waitangi Day with your whānau and community. This year takes on even more significance considering the political activity and sentiment we are experiencing to marginalise us as Māori.
In this pānui, we’ve got some awesome highlights for you, including:
- Āio Media – digital content production company based in Rotorua
- L & B Building Solutions – new builds, renovations & restorations construction company in Ōtautahi
- Wānanga, events & webinars to help your business succeed
Keep an eye out for upcoming events, workshops, and opportunities to connect with us, our partners, and other pakihi across Aotearoa.
As always we value and welcome your feedback and hope you enjoy the pānui!
For more info, visit www.poutama.co.nz or drop us a line at po*****@po*****.nz.
Mauri ora ki a tātou katoa.
