Auckland Council and the Auckland RSA have come together to provide plenty of opportunities for Aucklanders to honour the military veterans who displayed courage serving our country.

Although the number of in-person services and ceremonies across the region is reduced as a result of the red-light setting during planning, there are still many ways to commemorate at home or in the community.

The dawn service at the Auckland War Memorial Museum is limited to veterans and invited guests only. The public are encouraged to view the service at home on Māori Television.

Visit ourauckland.nz/anzacday for ways to commemorate Anzac Day.

Kia ora,

We need your support and 1 minute of your time to sign the Petition.

West Auckland population is over 240,000 and yet we do not have a full scale hospital. And most astonishing highlight is that we only have 1.2 beds per 1000 people!!!! 1.2 BEDS!!!!!

Forget full scale, the Ministry of Health 'Capital Investment Committee' has deferred any upgrades to the Master Plan of the DHB indefinitely, which means we are back in the queue while the hospital continues to disintegrate.

Please add your voice to send a message to the Minister of Health that West Needs his endorsement to the Master Plan. He can do it.

You can find the link to the petition here: www.savewaitakerehospital.nz...

Please share it with your family and friends too.

Many thanks
