Canterbury Passports


One of the most popular 150th Anniversary mementos, the Canterbury Passport, will only be available for a few more weeks.

Turning Point 2000 Heritage 2000 Advisory Group produced the passport as a commemorative gift for Christchurch school children, who have been encouraged to record information about themselves, their families, interests and activities during the anniversary year.

The passport looks and feels like a real New Zealand passport. It sold well over Anniversary Weekend at the end of last year and people queued to have them stamped.

Canterbury Museum, Christchurch Cathedral and a number of the Anniversary events produced passport visa stamps — one of the last of which was available at the opening of the Sister Cities Gardens in Halswell Quarry Park.

Passports are available from:
