Meng Foons Responses

Gisborne/Eastcoast is blessed to be multicultural, our relationships have developed over a period of time and through listening and mutual respect we tend to get more out of our current and long term relationships. Did captain cook ever think that a Chinese person would be mayor, or that a Spanish sailor in 1860’s have 5 Maori Eastcoast wives and now have a large whanau of 20k We have many types of restaurants, people marrying different ethnicities as love has no boundaries. I am proud to me the mayor of a multicultural community, we now have about 83 different ethnicities. Many are in professional and business jobs, this diversity has bought much needed skills to our region and our community appreciates this I look forward to the day that we are live as one people, with different beliefs and cultures, eat different foods, celebrate different ceremonies, love Tairawhiti. We are one and one for all. Kia ora Meng Foon | Mayor| Gisborne District Council
