Spirit of the Wakatipu

Gala: Our next Gala will be in November 202 Events Centre

​

There is no doubt the spirit of giving is a force that brings communities together for the common good.  There are literally countless individuals, groups and organisations who give of themselves, their time and their money to help make our community a better place.

 

This is the Spirit of the Wakatipu: 

 

Tiaki o Tahuna

To Care for the People and the Place of Queenstown
