ANZAC 2020, Island Bay : Commemorating from our “bubbles” at 10am this Saturday
Traditionally, the churches of Island Bay hold an ANZAC service at Island Bay School. This year, leaders of the churches of Island Bay have prepared a video service for us: an ANZAC Message, prayer, reading from “For the Fallen”, a bugle call, then a minute’s silence.
At 10am on Saturday 25 April, gather in your bubble – in your driveway, garden or lounge – to pause, reflect and commemorate ANZAC Day. Here's the link: youtu.be...
Here are other ways our ANZACs:
Make a paper or chalk poppy to decorate the front of your house.
AND
Listen to the dawn service, 6am on National Radio
GO TO
www.standatdawn.com... for resources, children’s activities, recipes, a ‘decorate your letterbox’ competition and ways to support our service people.
THEN
Receive a virtual poppy identity by donating via the RSA Givealittle page!
ANZAC Day is a time to pay respect and acknowledge the many thousands of our military people who are serving or have served, who are called upon to support New Zealand in times of war, conflict and disasters. We can’t gather as we might normally, but we can still remember.
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
37.6% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
62.4% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
