Kia Ora! Welcome!
We are an informal group of ex-pat Kiwis living in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada who get together for social, sporting and cultural activities and to stay connected to our kiwi roots.
A producer working with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) is preparing a number of projects that deal with our World Cup coverage and is particularly interested in contacting people who will be cheering and supporting New Zealand team during the World Cup.
CBC is interested in recruiting World Cup "super fans" within the Kiwi community to be part of the CBC "Super fan" blog site.
