15 March Remembrance – Cancelled

Mayor Phil Goff today announced that Auckland Council would be cancelling the Auckland’s Remembrance Event which was due to take place tomorrow at Eden Park to mark the one year since the March 15 mosque attacks in Christchurch. The decision has the support of the leaders of the Muslim community in Auckland and Government and is consistent with the decision made to cancel the National Remembrance Service in Christchurch due to the Coronavirus concerns to the public.
