Inaugurated during the depths of winter 2009, the ViaStrada Bake-off made a return visit to the morning tea table in 2010. The much anticipated 2010 competition saw some serious thought go into choosing (and in some cases practising) recipes. Even staunch non-bakers entered the arena and surprised themselves with the results.

Once a week two staff members tried their hand at baking; and to keep it interesting and add a little healthy competition, a vote determined the favourite of the day.

With the Canterbury region's focus shifting from the earthquake aftermath to recovery, ViaStrada is looking at how it can assist with expediting the building and resource consent processes for those wanting to rebuild their premises.

ViaStrada's planners are already actively involved in resource consents for a number of prominent quake affected heritage buildings in central Christchurch and are otherwise providing advice to building company clients on residential and commercial rebuilding options and consenting issues.

ViaStrada Christchurch will close on Friday 24 December and reopen on Monday 10 January.

ViaStrada Nelson will close on Thursday 23 December and reopen on Monday 10 January.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our clients and to wish you a happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year!

ViaStrada has competed in the McLeans Forest Park "6 hour blast" mountain bike event for four consecutive years, winning podium places in each of the last three years.

In 2008 our women's team, the Bicycle Belles (consisting of Helen Woodhouse, Megan Fowler and Jeanette Ward) finished third in their category.
