Anzac Day

Anzac Day

There are opportunities across the motu for the public to come together to mark Anzac Day this year.

National Anzac Day events include the Dawn Service at 6.00am and the National Commemorative Service at 11.00am (both at Pukeahu National War Memorial Park, Wellington), and the Atatürk Memorial Service at 2.30pm in Strathmore, Wellington. The Dawn Service and National Commemorative Service will be broadcast live by TVNZ 1 and RNZ National.

For those wanting to join the Anzac Day parade at the Dawn Service, veterans are asked to assemble on Tasman Street by 5.30am.

The Atatürk Memorial Service in Strathmore will include a wreath-laying ceremony. A shuttle service will be running from Bowes Crescent carpark to the memorial site for anyone who may require assistance accessing the site.

For more information about Anzac Day, visit the Manatū Taonga Ministry for Culture and Heritage website or see the Pukeahu National War Memorial Park Facebook page.

Heartbeats Presentation on Exercise and Cardiac Rehabiliation

Trent Lash from Heartbeats

Heartbeats is hosting a presentation by Matthew Wood, M.Sc. (Exercise Physiology) from AUT Millennium Centre on exercise-based cardiac and wellbeing rehabilitation after a heart event.
Heart attack and heart disease affects 1:3 people (31%).
Its tough to 'get back on the horse' and not feel that you own body could kill you at any time.
You feel you have lost control of your living and you are alone.
WRONG on both counts.
A clinically-led exercise programme coupled with a reasonable heart healthy diet and some emotional support, will give you back a long and fulfilling life.
WHERE: Hibiscus Coast Community House (behind Estuary Arts Centre) 214 Hibiscus Coast Highway, Orewa.
WHEN: 10:00am - 11:00am on TUESDAY, 7th May.
It's FREE. All heart event survivors and those facing heart surgery of any kind, are very WELCOME. Bring along your spouse, partner and family.
For more information: Call Trent on 0220 606 199
