Welcome to the official North Canterbury website in association with Rangiora.com and Kaiapoi.net. The fertile plains, rolling hills, and background of often snow covered mountains, make North Canterbury such a pleasant predominantly rural area. Covering the districts of both Waimakariri and Hurunui,there is something for everybody,from ski-ing to surfing and from holiday resorts to major vineyards.

North Canterbury includes both the Waimakariri and Hurunui Districts with a total population of around 50,000 people. The opportunity to choose a semi-rural lifestyle is leading to rapid residential growth, particularly around Rangiora, Kaiapoi, Pegasus and Woodend, and this has resulted in an increase in business services available and the opportunity to escape the city for varied, relaxed shopping and visitor experiences
