Sue Spigel was in the Christ Church Cathedral during the 2011 earthquake. A decade on, she has just been reunited with her items.
The Anglicans’ ruling body may have to change its approval terms for restoration of the Christ Church Cathedral to avoid work stopping in October if more funds cannot be found. When the Anglican Synod approved restoration of the cathedral in 2017, the terms stipulated that each stage could only go ahead if the full funding for that stage was already in place. At least $103 million is currently in place for the project, which is expected to cost approximately $154m. The first stage, which involves stabilising the cathedral with large steel frames, is under way and will cost $11.8m.

Mike Yardley was among the many Christchurch residents to find their way to Latimer Square shortly after the devastating earthquake on February 22, 2011.
OPINION: February 22. It’s not just a date but a stake, a monumental marker that’s been driven deep and defining into the timeline of our lives. A date that elicits a heady spectrum of emotions and that reflexive sense of contorted discomfort in the pits of our stomachs. I’m not a big anniversary kind of guy. I don’t routinely binge on marking dates, but this year feels different because it is. The tenth anniversary of the February 22 earthquake is a potent milestone, serving not just as a totem to all we have lost, but equally, an exacting yardstick on how far or otherwise our city has risen again, from the wrenching depths of civic despair.
