Sisterly roundabout
The flags of Christchurch’s six sister cities, put up in 2000
on the roundabout at the Memorial Avenue and Orchard
Road junction, now have a sign. The 3.4m by 1m Sister
Cities Roundabout sign was installed last month. Twenty-four
pupils from Merrin School, who next year will visit
Christchurch’s Korean sister city of Songpa-gu, dressed in
Korean national costume to mark the occasion. City Council International Relations Coordinator Dave
Adamson says the idea of the flags was to raise the profile
of Christchurch’s sister city links around the world. “It’s an
appropriate location for the flags, because they catch the
eye of incoming visitors to the city. The sign, facing the
airport, marks the final stage of the project,” he says. |
