⚠️A Restricted Fire Season will come into effect Wednesday 11th December from 1am for the areas of Selwyn District, Christchurch City including Banks Peninsula, Waimakariri District, Hurunui District and Kaikoura District.
The means you will need to apply for and be issued a permit to light any fire in the open air.

A Restricted Fire Season will come into effect Wednesday 11th December from 1am for the areas of Selwyn District, Christchurch City including Banks Peninsula, Waimakariri District, Hurunui District and Kaikoura District.

The means you will need to apply for and be issued a permit to light any fire in the open air.

We know this will not come as a shock to many, the weather is getting drier and no significant rain forecast for the Canterbury District. We have not met the threshold required to implement a Prohibited Fire Season yet but we are watching the weather and fire danger daily.

You can apply for a permit on our website www.checkitsalright.nz. Once you have been issued your permit, there will be conditions on there that you MUST meet. One of these conditions will be to call our Communications Centre to notify them of your fire before you light it.

Our crews have been working extremely hard over the past couple of weeks but especially the past few days, they need a break. So please consider if you really need to light a fire this summer, or if you can hold off until cooler conditions return in Autumn.

We will post a map of the area the restrictions will affect later today.

Sunday looked like it was a fantastic day for the Canterbury Half Marathon and with over 700 participants taking part.

Yesterday was a fantastic day for the Canterbury Half Marathon and with over 700 participants taking part, it brought Pegasus to life on what would normally be a quite Sunday.
The winds were strong but didn't cause too many issues for everyone especially Caden Shields taking line honours in the great time of 66 minutes 23 seconds, this was a class run by Caden and as he crossed the line he was still fill of running.
In the ladies Fiona Gallagher took line honours in 87 minutes 5 seconds and like Caden had plenty in the tank.
There were some great results across all age groups both young and old and many PB's, we say congratulations to you all on all your personal goals.
Photo's from yesterday are at https://geosnapshot.com/e/canterbury-half-marathon-8th-december/31955?source=event-eo-share
Results are at:
https://results.raceroster.com/v2/en-US/results/f3be5c43wz4dvnpt/results
A big thanks has to go to all the residents of Pegasus for getting in behind the event, it was great meeting so many of you in the set up and pack down and allowing the use of water from properties, this just makes things so much easier.
Next half marathon we have is the Christchurch Motorway Half Marathon with Early Bird entries closing on Sunday the 22nd of December.
To everyone that entered the Canterbury Half Marathon remember the Code in your confirmation email gives you 10% off the Early Bird entry if you enter and use the Code before Midnight this Sunday, to register go to www.motorwayhalf.co.nz
Thanks everyone😃
