"On its 25 year long journey, SPACPAC Polyfest in Canterbury has seen some major changes over the years. From being held in schools, church, a barn, the earthquake red zone area to Hagley Park. Through the ups and downs and major turning points that could have halted their progress, the event has persevered. It’s a testament not only to the organisers but also to the city of Christchurch and the Canterbury region for its work and grit."

A beautiful written piece about our recent event. Fa'afetai lava Neueli Mauafu and the team at Tagata Pasifika for sharing the 25 year story of Spacpac Canterbury Polyfest with our Pasifika communities across Aotearoa! 🧡
