(I have checked, and all retail establishments are required to close.) This is deeply disrepectful to our fallen servicemen and women. When a business puts profit ahead of proper behaviour, that is reprehensible.
I’m not sure what category I need to post this request but I’m desperate for a cleaner on Tuesday to vacuum, dust and windows cleaned. I have too much on currently with finding accommodation so I’m happy to pay someone or maybe a community group could help out.

I have too much on currently with finding accommodation so I’m happy to pay someone or maybe a community group could help out. I’m just so distraught and tired to take on anything more right now. I’d be prepared to assist anyone in need in return.
Thanks all my wonderful neighbours

Nowadays, Anzac Day serves as a day to acknowledge all those who have died in warfare, and honours returned servicemen and women.
Traditional dawn services have returned across New Zealand this year, after the Covid-19 pandemic put a stop to them last year.

Hi Canterbury,

How are you commemorating Anzac Day? What stories have been passed down through your whānau?
April 25 marks the 106-year anniversary of the Gallipoli landings, one of the most costly campaigns for the Allied Forces during World War I.
Anzac dawn and commemorative services up and down the country are scheduled to get underway after widespread cancellations last year, due to the nation being under Alert Level 4 restrictions.
The NZDF have advised of a reduced presence of military personnel at Anzac services due to deployment at MIQ facilities.
You can check out where the Anzac day services are on this interactive map on the RSA website.

The proposed Smokefree 2025 Action Plan includes significantly reducing the number of retailers able to sell tobacco, limiting the nicotine content of cigarettes, and raising the age of purchase every year, so that anyone born after 2004 could never lawfully be sold tobacco.

Columnist Mike Yardley says most lower-income earners who smoke shell out more money in tobacco excise than they do in income tax.
"They should be vigorously urged to switch to vaping as a smoking cessation alternative, given it’s not just far less hazardous to their health, but also to their back pocket," he says.
