Glengarry, New Zealand

Glengarry is a suburb in the New Zealand city of Invercargill.
In a 2019 op-ed in the Southland Times, a woman who was brought up in Glengarry said the community "reflected the United Nations" with its diversity, and people were wrong to associate life in Glengarry with the impoverished lifestyles reflected in the film "Once Were Warriors".
It has hosted a range of events, including the Invercargill Fire and Light Show and Summer Sounds Concert.
History.
In 1976, Stephen Thomas established a service station on bare land in the Glengarry area. He sold the business in 2018.
In 2014, Eastside Baptist Church in Glengarry recorded increasing demand for its free Wednesday meals.
In 2016, Invercargill City Council removed a public Christmas tree one week after it was installed due to vandalism. The tree had been vandalised three times, the fairy lights wiring had been cut in several places, many baubles had been destroyed, and the damage was too expensive to continue repairing.
In 2019, Invercargill deputy mayor Rebecca Amundsen said she had entered politics because she felt Invercargill City Council had not provided enough support for the rejuvenation of Glengarry.
