Canterbury of New Zealand 120 years

Before you really knew us, we were there. We were in the trenches, standing shoulder-to-shoulder, with war heroes and our sporting greats. From rugby icons to sailing champions, from grassroots, to the world stage, we’ve had your back for 120 years. We know what it means to be tough. To be resilient. To tackle challenges head on. To show up. To stay in the fight. Breaking through the crushing lows and striving for the dizzying highs. These life lessons, passed down through generations, have made us who we are today. And tomorrow, as dawn breaks, we’ll stand up once again and inspire together. What’s next? It’s up to all of us. With greatest respect and appreciation to our CCC community and everyone involved within this significant milestone, including, Sir Peter Blake Trust, Jonah Lomu’s Estate, Va’aiga Tuigamala’s Estate, Sir Michael Jones, Mark Tele’a, Tom Gould, Mia Henry-Teirney and Te Rauparaha with KA MATE, composed by Te Rauparaha courtesy of Ngāti Toa Rangati
