Tiny Shop Village

INVIGORATING A COMMUNITY

I love a good community story and this is one. The completion of the 'Tiny Shops' village in Stanmore Road has been marked by the opening and blessing of the final tiny building and a celebration by locals from the Linwood community. The Christchurch City Council has supported Greening the Rubble and community development organisation Te Whare Roimata to repurpose a vacant area on the main road for use by the local community. This story captures the passion of those involved in the project which saw close collaboration between a number of donor groups, local volunteers and the city council.   ( Pro bono story for Ice Cycles and Te Whare Roiamata ) Footage free HD 1080 10bit 422
