No Anzac Day services on the North Shore due to Omicron uncertainty

Caroline Williams Reporter from North Shore Times

Tēnā koutou. There will be public Anzac Day services and parades in every part of Auckland on Monday, but none on the North Shore.

North Shore services are usually organised by Returned and Services' Association (RSA) clubs with help and funding from local boards.

Anzac services were expected to be of smaller scale this year, as the country’s shift to the orange light of the Covid-19 protection framework on April 13 left organisers with little time to upsize their offerings.

As a result, the East Coast Bays, Birkenhead and Devonport RSAs will be holding private services, with the latter two livestreaming their services for the public to view from home.

Meanwhile, public Anzac services - many with parades - will be held in every other part of the region, according to the Auckland Council website.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
