Many hung in there for many years, in fact, helping to rebuild some of those shattered communities. I'd particularly like to acknowledge my friend Sam Johnson, a good Mayfield lad, and Erin Jackson, who created and ran the Student Volunteer Army. That organisation has continued to provide support to Christchurch and to Canterbury as recently as the COVID-19 response, delivering groceries to places like Timaru and Ashburton, and it's now led by new leadership, by people like Ashburton's Alyce Lysaght.
