Introduction :
Every year we celebrate Waitangi Day on 6th February, Waitangi Day' is a day set aside by the New Zealand Government as a public holiday to be observed throughout the country as a national day of thanksgiving in commemoration of the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi. This event was started in the year of 1840 by a group of Maori chiefs and the British Government, represented by Lieutenant-Governor Hobson. On this day the Governor-General often spends the day at Waitangi. Typically, the Governor-General would attend a dawn service on the Treaty Grounds at Waitangi before traveling to Wellington for a Waitangi Day function at Government House.
So celebrate this day and double the festivities with joy and fervor. And wish your near and dear ones on this memorable day.
