A series of forums
Kapiti Coast - Choosing Futures 2009
To start the Community Plan development and engage with groups in the community with special interests in the outcomes, a series of forums are being held.
They’re running through August/early September. (Yes, we know, to be strictly correct it should be “fora” but these days “forums” seems less confusing.)
See here for details of the full programme.
