Join us for our Civil Defence's Real Life Superhero Day event
Bring a picnic and the whānau and get in on the action!
Sunday 2nd March 2025
Paeroa Domain, 10 am to 2pm
What's it all about?
Our Civil Defence Superheroes Day, in partnership with Matamata-Piako District Council and Thames-Coromandel District Council, is our opportunity to say thanks to all the Emergency Services that help the community in times of crisis.
Come to support and thank our real-life Superheroes from FENZ, Hato Hone St Johns and NZ Police, along with other search and rescue and community groups.
Free sausage sizzle, bottled water, games and learning galore!
It’s also the perfect time to learn from the experts on how to prepare and plan for emergencies. There’ll be free kai, demonstrations and education, and lots of fun games to play with the whole whānau.
Ever wanted to volunteer? Now's your chance
Even better, you'll have the opportunity to sign up to volunteer and upskill yourself so you don’t need rescuing!
When it comes to an emergency, everyone in the community counts.
