This year the University of Canterbury celebrates it’s 150th year. Join John Wilson, author of the recently published “A New History: The University of Canterbury 1873–2023”, for a look at the University and its links with the Christchurch community. John Wilson MNZM was raised in Timaru and Christchurch and graduated from the University of Canterbury with an MA (first class honours in history) in 1966. He has written local histories of two Canterbury rural areas, Cheviot and Waikakahi, and of the Christchurch suburb of Addington. He has also written extensively about the historic buildings of Christchurch and Banks Peninsula.
This talk is brought to you as part of the Christchurch Heritage Festival with support from the Christchurch City Council.
