...the Canterbury Regional Council (trading as Environment Canterbury)...: to my ears, the word "trading" in this idiom means that it's only appropriate for an actual business. For a govt body, a non-profit, or a club, I wouldn't even consider using it but would stick to the more prosaic often calling itself "Environment Canterbury" or suchlike. Is use of this idiom for non-businesses common in New Zealand? Doops | talk 07:16, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
From what I remember, the legislation which restructured local government in NZ specifically mentions Canterbury Regional Council in the Act. Technically its legal name is that. However, for the purposes of controlling its public image or branding the entity has launched itself as Environment Canterbury. I can understand why the idiom doesn't sound right, speaking as a NZer who has lived in London for the last 7 years. However, the NZ attitude toward local government wouldn't split hairs as to the propriety of describing Environment Canterbury's activity as trading. JonathanG

Canterbury Region → Canterbury, New Zealand – This is one of a series of ongoing discussions about the names of the regions of New Zealand. The common name of most of the NZ regions seems to be the name of the region without the word "Region". This was a recent discussion that applied to this article, where it was argued by some that "Canterbury (region)" is inappropriately ambiguous. Given Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_(geographic_names)#Disambiguation and WP:NATURAL, I believe that the proposed name is probably the best in this case. This was the name of the article until 2009, when the article was moved to its current form as part of an effort to standardise the names of the regions, an effort which I think was not a good idea given the different issues surrounding the region names.

I propose that Pūkio Stream, Kānuka Hills and Tawhai Hill should be merged into the geography section of this article. They are not independently notable features, and their shared claim to notability arises from a common aspect that could be discussed in this section without needless repetition elsewhere. bd2412 T 22:03, 12 October 2017 (UTC)
@ BD2412: @ SlimVirgin: @ Schwede66: @ TonyTheTiger: FYI, I have re-opened this merge discussion at Talk:New Zealand Geographic Board, at least for Tawhai Hill and Kānuka Hills . SnowFire ( talk) 04:27, 27 November 2017 (UTC)

I was very surprised to see that moa hunters are described as being distinct from Maori. As far as I'm aware the moa hunter hypothesis was a racist colonial idea that hasn't been acceptable in the scientific community for decades. I'm an ecologist so not informed enough to make any edits but was quite shocked to see it mentioned and hope someone with deeper historical knowledge amends this. 119.224.87.61 ( talk) 09:49, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
The content about the 2010-2011 earthquakes in this article seems overly long. Given that there are separate articles covering the earthquakes in detail, it seems to me that the content in this regional article is unbalanced and should be substantially reduced. Ideally, the topic would only be covered with a region-wide perspective, giving overall economic, social and related impacts, and with the benefit of more than 10 years post-event._ Marshelec ( talk) 07:41, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
