Media release

23 February 2017

Smiths City Group supports Canterbury firefighters

Smiths City is donating five percent of this weekend’s sales to local firefighters, to thank them for their response to the Port Hills’ fires.

The initiative applies to the company’s three stores in Christchurch located in Colombo Street, Northwood and Riccarton.

The donation will be made to Canterbury firefighters and the money will benefit both Selwyn and Christchurch rural and urban firefighters.

“We wanted to say good on you and thank you. We’re a Christchurch-based company and many of our staff and customers were affected in some way. We all read the stories and saw the pictures and wanted to do something for the firefighters,” said Roy Campbell, chief executive Smiths City Group.

“We hope Christchurch shoppers will really get behind this initiative,” Campbell said.

Smiths City will also offer a discount directly to individual local firefighters who shop at the three Christchurch stores until the end of March. To be eligible, fire fighters will need to show official identification and other terms and conditions apply.

Throughout the year, Smiths City Group supports a range of organisations with cash or product donations including Cure Kids, Ronald McDonald House South Island and the Christchurch Santa Parade.

Terms & Conditions

Offer valid at Colombo Street, Northwood and Riccarton stores in Christchurch 9am – 5pm from Saturday 25 to Sunday 26 February 2017. Offer not available for online shopping.

Gordon Campbell: On Dune 2, And Images Of Islam


Depictions of Islam in Western popular culture have rarely been positive, even before 9/11. Five years on from the mosque shootings, this is one of the cultural headwinds that the Muslim community has to battle against. Whatever messages of tolerance and inclusion are offered in daylight, much of our culture tends to be hostile to Islam when we’re sitting in the dark, with popcorn.
Any number of movie examples come to mind, beginning with Rudolf Valentino’s role (over a century ago) as the romantic Arab hero in The Sheik...
