The annual SPCA street appeal, scheduled for this week, is one of the casualties of the latest Covid 19 alert level changes. The toll on events across the North caused by the latest cluster of Covid-19 cases in Auckland continues to mount. It will now take place in March 12-13 as long as Northland returns to alert level 1. The SPCA is disappointed to announce the cancellation of their Annual Street Appeal in towns and cities across New Zealand. Coordinator Jodi Betts said the organising committee decided on Sunday to cancel the popular event due to Covid alert level 2 restrictions.
