Taumanuka Waitangi Day Celebration

The Ōtaki Volunteer Fire Brigade were also very popular participants at the Taumanuka Waitangi Day Celebration.

“What an incredible day at the Taumanuka Waitangi Day Celebration at the Health Camp. The Brigade was thrilled to be part of the event, bringing along a fire appliance and a keen crew of firefighters. We had an absolute blast running the slip-n-slide and dunk pool, keeping the kids (and a few brave adults!) cool on a lovely summers day.”
