National Remembrance Service
A National Remembrance Service for the victims of the Christchurch mosques terrorist attack, and all those affected by it will be held at 10 am this Friday 29 March.
The service, Ko Tātou, Tātou We Are One, will be held in North Hagley Park, jointly led by the city of Christchurch, the Government of New Zealand, Ngāi Tahu and the Muslim community.
It will be an opportunity for people to come together in unity, to show compassion, love and support for all our communities, and the value we place on being an inclusive and diverse country.
The service will be live streamed to allow people across New Zealand and around the world to join together in remembrance.
More details, including the order of service, will be announced soon.

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)
