Waikato events secure $3m in Government funding

A total of 34 events across the Waikato, Rotorua, Taupō and Ruapehu regions will receive nearly $3 million in funding from the Government’s Thermal Explorer Regional Events Fund.

The fund was set up by the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment to support and provide new domestic visitation opportunities for the events and tourism sectors which have been severely impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic.

Regional tourism organisations from across the country have been appointed as facilitators of the fund.

Last year’s round of funding supported 15 events in the region with $1.6m while the latest allocation gives $1.3m to 19 events.

The events receiving funding support are a mixture of new and existing ones from diverse interest areas including business, sport, fitness, trail running, cars, music, and culture.

In total, the 34 events are predicted to attract over 300,000 people, with two-thirds being visitors from outside each host region. Some events have three-year funding agreements while others have received a one-year investment to boost their development.

Among the events that received funding in the first round was the Middle-Earth Halfling Marathon, staged at Hobbiton Movie Set at the end of April this year.

This inaugural event drew in 2500 people including 1000 competitors, some of whom dressed in costume. They ran or walked one of two distances around the picturesque village of Hobbiton, either the halfling (21.1km) or the eleventy-first (11.1km).

Middle-Earth Halfling Marathon event director Matt Reilly, of The Events Agency, says the Thermal Explorer funding enabled the event to get off the ground.

“The support gave us the seed funding necessary for us to be able to confidently move forward with developing what proved to be a successful event even in its first year and will only grow in the years to come.

“We’re already out there inviting runners and their supporters to mark their calendars for next year’s Middle-Earth Halfling Marathon.”

Other events that secured funding include New Zealand’s Fitness Festival and hunting and outdoor expo Sika Show, both set to take place at Mystery Creek in October, the Waitomo Trail Run in November and the Hamilton Gardens Arts Festival in February and March next year.

The Thermal Explorer Event Investment Panel that facilitates the fund is made up of eight members and Hamilton & Waikato Tourism is the lead entity.

Hamilton & Waikato Tourism chief executive Nicola Greenwell says the regions and event organisers are “immensely excited” about the opportunities made possible through the funding.

“The support allows the funded events to be developed, positioned and marketed to be or become an iconic or anchor event for the host region, growing exponentially each event, attracting out-of-region visitation, encouraging economic benefit and boosting capability in our events sector.”

Greenwell says the focus will now be on developing events sector capability across the Thermal Explorer regions.

“The ongoing upskilling of our events sector will best position the events being staged in our regions to be extraordinarily successful and sought after – not only by our local communities but also visitors to each of our regions.

“We’ve already held some well-attended capability-building workshops and webinars and we are expanding these along with other development initiatives.”

Waterloo region’s Tamil community set to ring in new year, kick-off year of events | CBC News

After two years of marking the new year at home, members of Waterloo region’s Tamil community are excited to gather in-person this weekend.

“It’s a chance to see new faces greet old friends. There have been probably a lot of newcomers to the region. We’re excited to also meet them,” said Rajivi Nadarajah, secretary of the Tamil Cultural Association of Waterloo Region.

The new year was on April 14, but the group will mark it Saturday, April 23 with an evening celebration at the Forest Heights Community Centre in Kitchener.

“We decorate the entrance with coloured powder and intricate designs called kolam to welcome positive vibes and energy into the houses. We prepare lots of food. A lot of people sometimes go to the temples to pray,” she said.

“My favourite part of the Tamil new year is something we call conversation, which is where we go to our elders and we pay respects to them and they bless us and give us pocket money as well. So the kids also enjoy that quite a bit.”

Plans for 2022

While the new year event is sold out, Nadarajah says there are many summer events planned where people can learn more about their group, including the K-W Multicultural Festival scheduled to take place in June in Kitchener’s Victoria Park. There’s also a South Asian sports day in July and a picnic in August.

“We’ve not put on a lot of events over the past two years, and we’re going to try and go back to all the events that we have done,” she said. “There’s quite a bit this year that we’re excited about.”

Students from Comox Valley and surrounding districts showcased their talents in the skilled trades and technologies at the Skills Canada Competition held at G.P. Vanier Secondary School on March 2.

The event featured students from several School District 71 schools ranging from grades 6 to 12, and there was a buzz in the air as the competitions returned to being held in person after the past two years of virtual activities.

There were 250 competitors in 16 different events, from 19 schools in four school districts (SD 71 – Comox Valley, SD47 – Powell River, SD72 – Campbell River, SD69 – Parksville-Qualicum).

This event provides an opportunity for competitors to show off their skills and encourages participants to pursue careers in good-paying, in-demand fields.

The Skills Canada Competition lets young people from across our schools shine,” said Steve Claassen, trades & ADST coordinator for School District 71. “From welding, carpentry – to website design, computer animation, and electronics and robotics – this event showcases talent, connects youth with employers, and promotes careers in the skilled trades and technologies.”

Skills Canada offers experiential learning opportunities including skilled trade and technology competitions for hundreds of thousands of young Canadians through regional, provincial/territorial, national and international events, as well as skilled trade awareness programs.

Winners in each competition area were awarded gold, silver or bronze medals.

Senior event gold medal winners from SD 71 this year were Caleb Elsasser (Vanier) in the automotive event and Austin Harris (Highland) in the electronics event. Both senior event winners are going to the Skills Canada provincials.

Other gold medalists from SD 71 were Timothy Sterk, Olie Phillips, Griffin Moquin and Ewen Chowdury of Highland Secondary in the Jr. Skills – VEX IQ Robotics competition.
