Today at 12.51pm, marked the five year anniversary of the Christchurch Earthquake which tore apart our city. Everyone who was in Christchurch at the time will remember where they were, what they were doing and who they were with but none could imagine the impact and change it would bring upon their lives and to the city. I certainly remember myself where I was and the sense of helplessness that followed as I tried to get in touch with loved ones and make it home. I’ll never forgot the echo of sirens going off everywhere.
Today we acknowledge those 185 lives that were lost.
We must continue to look forward and keep pushing on with the rebuild. Kia kaha Christchurch!
