Christchurch Earthquake - Auckland Memorial Service

Christchurch Earthquake - Auckland Memorial Service

An outdoor memorial service for the victims of the Christchurch Earthquake will be held at the Cenotaph in the Auckland Domain on the evening of Friday 18 March.

The ceremony will follow the National Memorial Service in Christchurch, which the Mayor will attend on behalf of the people of Auckland.

The hour-long Auckland memorial service will take place at 7pm.

Aucklanders who attend will be encouraged to light candles and may like to lay flowers at the Cenotaph after the ceremony.

Len Brown says it is important we take time to reflect on Christchurch’s loss, spirit, courage and resilience as we continue to work with the people of Canterbury in their time of need

Aucklanders can also leave messages of support in condolence books at the Auckland Town Hall and any Auckland library.
