CARTERTON DISTRICT COUNCIL EMBRACES BILINGUAL SIGNAGE
Carterton District Council confirmed it will be embracing Te Reo Māori and working with Hurunui o Rangi Marae to implement bilingual signage throughout the district.
Carterton District Council’s Policy and Strategy chairperson, Ruth Carter, said the bilingual signage was an important step forward in the valued partnership with Hurunui o Rangi Marae and the district’s cultural heritage.
“The new signs will be part of our continued journey with Hurunui o Rangi Marae and we will be working with them to get the right signage across the Carterton District.
“It’s not just about translating existing signs into Te Reo Māori but about recognising the cultural names within the district.”.....
