Friday Prayer at Hagley Park
An official Call to Prayer event will take place this afternoon as Hagley Park, across from Al Noor Masjid on Deans Avenue in Christchurch.
Public should arrive before 1pm for a 1.15pm start.
Everyone attending this event (media and public) should dress modestly. Women should wear clothing that covers their ankles and long sleeves that go down to the wrist. They should also wear headscarves that cover their hair.
The public have been invited to attend and will be in an area at the eastern end of the park (please see the map).
A no-fly zone is in place across Christchurch until 23 March.
The Call to Prayer event is being live-streamed by TVNZ and Mediaworks

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
