Press Release: Christchurch City Council
A popular and free activity over the 150th Canterbury
Anniversary weekend was the stamping of visa stamps into the
Canterbury Passports.
"My hand is still aching from
stamping hundreds, probably thousands, of passports at the

Point 2000 administration manager, Maureen Downes.
"The
special stamps were so popular that we have arranged for
them to held at the Canterbury Museum information desk until

stamped," she says.
And Canterbury Passports can still be
bought for $9.95 from the Museum, the Christchurch
Cathedral, Events in Mind, 668 Colombo Street, and Turning
Point
2000.
