Even though public Anzac services are unable to go ahead, it doesn’t mean the tradition of remembering and commemorating our veterans and service personnel should be cancelled too.

On Saturday 25 April at 6:00 am you’re invited to remember those who have given their lives for our country by standing at your letterbox, your front door, in your lounge or on your driveway.

Wherever you are, take a moment to remember our fallen – but please stay within your bubble. You can also listen to the dawn service broadcast live from 6.00 am on RNZ on 101.7 FM or 567 AM.

The impact will depend on a huge number of factors including how long the country is in an Alert Level 4 lockdown, the level of unemployment, consumer and business confidence levels, people’s ability to access finance (and finance their own mortgages) and how long the wider economy takes to recover; the question is how long will it take to recover? The good news is and one things for sure, properties will still be purchased and sold, it will just be a different market from where we left off, before COVID-19!

Dear Nelson, Marlborough and Tasman - ANZAC Day will look a little different for us this year - however there are many ways for you to acknowledge the incredible men and women who have served our communities and given their lives for our country.

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’.

Selling Items

Kevin from Blenheim

I see on Marlborough buy sell swap some people are advertising items for sale that require collecting.
That means traveling.
Selling these items is not an essential service. What is wrong with some people.
Don't indulge them.
