There will be a Mayoral reception at 10.30 a.m. and then Aiderman Bell and his wife will be taken on a tour of the city. In the evening they will be the guests of the Canterbury Travel Club, and on Thursday will be entertained at dinner by the City Council.
A scenic drive has been arranged for Friday, and on Saturday the visitors will be shown the Botanic Gardens and the Canterbury Museum. In the evening they will attend a concert by the Christchurch Harmonic Society.
Aiderman Bell and his wife will leave for Mount Cook on Monday.
