... that although it was a centennial project, the Canterbury Pioneer Women's Memorial(pictured) in New Zealand was opened 90 years after the region's organised settlement began? Source: This page explains the 1940 centennial in New Zealand. This page outlines that the organised settlement of the Canterbury Region began with the arrival of the First Four Ships in December 1850. And in December 1940, 90 years after the ships started arriving, The Press reported the opening of the Canterbury Pioneer Women's Memorial.
Comment: Haha, a centenary memorial opened after 90 years, that's surely an intriguing hook! The QPQ was a double hook and this credit is for the review of the second article in that nomination, i.e. World Heritage Convention.
I am not seeing the hook explicitly stated in the article but I can put it together. Hopefully we will avoid errors. Bruxton (talk) 02:20, 20 April 2023 (UTC)
