Mayor of Gisborne

Today the mayor of Gisborne came to our class and talked about the Hamanatua Stream and what we did. If you didn't know, our class looks after the Hamanatua stream and last week we planted some native plants and tested the water to see if it was health enough to swim in-it wasn't. Anyway, back on topic, the mayor of Gisborne Meng Foon came in and we talked about the Hamanatua stream. For those of you who don't know what a mayor does, a mayor is someone who signs all commissions, licenses, and permits granted by legislative authority. A mayor serves as the top conservator of peace in the City.
