Anei te tono o te ngākau whakaiti kia whai wāhi koutou ki te whakatakoto i ngā whakaaro me ngā kōrero Māori ake nei ki te aroaro a te Bay of Plenty Play, Active Recreation and Sport (PARS) Strategy , he kaupapa nui e whakawhanake haere nei i tēnei wā.
Kai te whakahaere a Sport Bay of Plenty me Recreation Sport and Leisure Consultancy (RSL) i wētahi hui hāpori, e whai wāhi ai te reo o ngā hāpori maha o te rohe nei ki roto i te rautaki. Ki te kore ngā whakaaro Māori ka kapohia, kaore hoki te rautaki PARS e hāngai atu ai ki ngā wawata a ō tātau hāpori Māori. Nō reira, kai ngā marae, kai ngā hapū, kai ngā iwi – nau mai . Kai ngā karapu hakinakina, kai ngā kura, kai ngā tari Hauora – haere mai rā. Ko koutou rā e ngākaunui ana ki te korikori tinana, te takaro me te hakinkina mē ōnā āhuatanga e hua mai ai ngā uri, whakatau mai rā!
Ko te ānamata te tino whainga, nō reira, e matua kimi ana mātau i ngā whakaaro a ngā Tamariki, Taiohi, Rangatahi hoki. Nō reira, ko koutou e whakapau werawera ana i ngā mahi hāpai rangatahi, kawea mai rātau. Ki te kore rātau e tāea, e hiahia rānei, me kawe mai i ō rātau whakaaro ake hei tākoha tiketike ki te kaupapa.
Ko wēnei hui he whaitanga kia noho mōhio tonu koutou i te kaupapa, kia hono atu ki ētahi atu, ā, kia whai wāhi anō hoki ki te aronga o te āpōpō mō te tākaro, te whakakori me te hākinakina i tō tātou rohe.

I roto i ēnei hui, ka:
- Tūtohuhia ngā tirohanga matua i puta mai i ngā hui hapori i tū i Hakihea 2025whaka
- Matapaki i te aronga e hiahiatia ana mō te Rautaki PARS i runga i ngā kaupapa me ngā urupare i kohia
