About this Event

Kia Mataoho – Matariki @ Dominion Road

Join us for a special Matariki celebration event to learn about Matariki and the stars while taking part in fun and meaningful mini street clean-ups. ✨

Meeting Point:
Ballantyne Square, Mount Eden, Auckland

Mini Team Up to Clean Up (T2C) Activities

We will have three Mini T2C sessions starting at:

• 1:00pm
• 2:00pm
• 3:00pm

Starting from Ballantyne Square, participants can join any of the three Mini T2C sessions depending on their availability. Each session will explore nearby street sections as part of a mini version of our well-known Team Up to Clean Up anti-litter programme.

After the clean-up, participants will return to the meeting point to take part in litter sorting and learn more about waste segregation and sustainability. 🌱

This special Team Up 2 Clean Up event is organised by Welcoming Communities and Earth Action Trust as part of the Matariki celebrations at Dominion Road.

This is a fantastic opportunity to step away from the same-old routine, meet new people, exchange ideas, enjoy light exercise, and most importantly make a positive difference to our community and environment.

All cleaning tools will be provided.
