Te¯na¯ koutou, te¯na¯ koutou, te¯na¯ koutou katoa
On behalf of Trustees I am pleased to welcome you all to our 2020 Annual Report.
I firstly acknowledge the people who have passed in the 2019-2020 year we have lost some koroua and kuia who have been strong supporters of the Palmerston North Māori Reserve Trust, and others, younger members of the whānau who have passed much before their full potential has been realised.
It is a burden on our modern society that we continue to be recognised in all the worst statistics. I know we as an Iwi Authority must look at ways to improve outcomes for our whānau. I am pleased to see our statistics from Coronavirus (Covid-19) are not as bad as we had feared and I hope we are still vigilant in our manaaki of our most vulnerable whānau to ensure we don’t become just another bad statistic. Our newsletter has outlined quite clearly our concern and how we are managing ourselves as we manage our business in this 2020-2021 year. Without a doubt health is our major priority in all sense of the word.
