North Shore cemetery plaques get facelift
Ninety four loose plaques have been secured at North Shore Memorial Park in Auckland.
Veterans' Affairs spent $5,675 repairing the memorial tablets at the cemetery on Auckland's North Shore.
More than $480,000 from the Veterans’ Affairs memorial fund has gone towards headstones and plaques for veterans with qualifying service this year.
Another $170,000 from the organisation's capital works fund has been used to build new berms, install new seating, secure or replace damaged headstones in cemeteries across New Zealand.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
