Sarjeant curator of collections Jennifer Taylor Moore with time capsule material

This week’s Community Link(PDF, 3MB) features the time capsule recently found during the redevelopment work at Sarjeant Gallery Te Whare o Rehua Whanganui, the launch of Antenno (the council’s new notification phone app) and a “low mow” trial that’s about to begin in several open areas around Whanganui.

The council’s Hazardous Household Waste Day is also happening next Saturday (15 May) but you’ll need to register your waste items first before you can drop them off – so get in now!
