We invite you to share a memory or photo to commemorate this special day on Neighbourly below. It could be a story of a member in your family who served - or perhaps the way you and your family celebrate ANZAC Day each year. (It might even be a photo of your freshly baked can't be-beaten ANZAC cookies).
We also invite you to take part in Stand at Dawn and join us at 6:00 am on Saturday 25 April. Stand at your letterbox, at the front door, in your lounge rooms, balconies, in your driveway. Wherever you are in the world, stand with us and take a moment to remember our fallen – but please stay within your ‘bubble’.

The company operates tourist trains from Dunedin including the Taieri Gorge Railway tour and Pacific Coastal railway lines, which are popular with visiting cruise ship passengers and international tourists.
Chairman Kevin Winders said the track and equipment would be mothballed as the effects of Covid-19 on tourism compounded the company's existing financial challenges.
It was not being closed permanently but trains would be parked up indefinitely, effectively going into hibernation, he said.

Using self-paced learning, Toastmasters undertake an educational programme that promotes these competencies, and also teaches effective listening, thinking on your feet, leadership skills, and giving and receiving constructive feedback.
Amid lockdown, many of New Zealand’s Toastmasters clubs have transitioned to holding their regular meetings online to allow the continuation of personal and professional development while providing social interaction.
